How to deal with a long-lasting incision from a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section a year ago. At first, the incision was just two thin lines, but later it became fibrotic, red, and hardened. Then some parts softened, and now there's a bit of a recurrence of bumps.

Doctor's answer:

One year after cesarean section, the scar is relatively prominent, which is normal, and it will gradually fade over time. If you feel the scar is becoming more noticeable, you can use some scar removal creams, which can help reduce the symptoms of the scar. For patients, if the condition of cesarean section is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cesarean section. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
