1 Answer

A. It is generally safe to apply oil on your navel after 2 months of C-section, but it's important to consult your doctor first. After a C-section, it takes time for the incision to fully heal, and you may experience some discomfort or pain in the area. Applying oil on your navel may not directly affect your incision, but it's important to ensure that the oil you use is safe and suitable for postpartum skin. It's important to note that some oils, such as tea tree oil or peppermint oil, can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. It's best to avoid such oils or test them on a small patch of skin before applying them on your navel or any other area. Also, make sure to apply the oil gently and in moderate amounts to avoid any infections or skin irritation. Again, it's best to check with your doctor to determine if it's safe to apply oil on your navel after C-section, as every individual's healing process may differ. They can advise you on the best and safest way to apply oil or other skincare products to your postpartum skin.
