A. Itching around your C-section scar is common during the healing process, especially around 3-4 months postpartum, as the skin continues to heal and stretch. The itching could also be due to dry skin or the skin adjusting after the stitches or staples were removed. To soothe the itching and prevent irritation, you can try moisturizing the area with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion or cream, such as Cetaphil or Aloe Vera gel, which can provide hydration and comfort. You may also consider using vitamin E oil or coconut oil to help nourish the skin. Avoid scratching the area, as this can irritate the skin further or even cause scarring. If the itching is persistent, or if you notice any redness, swelling, or unusual symptoms, it’s best to consult your doctor to rule out infection or other skin issues.
