I have a 10 months old daughter and I have had a c section delivery. I have a keloid scar I'm not able to understand how to get rid of it. can i shave and use a razor on the scar itself??? is it ok if I do so? or will it cause any harm?

A. Don’t shave or cut it! It won’t go away that easily and you have to either get a steroid treatment for it from a dermatology or get it surgically removed during your second cesarean, It tends to recur
