For the past 2 days, my c section scar has been really itchy and driving me nuts. No amount of scratching or lotion will stop it. It doesn't look any different.
Make it stop!!!!!

Have you tried Vitamin E? Cut open a few capsules and rub on the oil.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce to the board that Swamp and Apple will no longer be with us. Swamp is on the lamb after murdering Apple and can't risk logging online.  |

It means your horcruxes are being destroyed. Somewhere out there, your mortal enemy's scar is itching too.

Lol, as long as she isn't preggers (or breast feeding with alcohol in system) I don't see anything wrong with having a drink  Just wondered because I think you can have so many weird things happen to your body after kids. |

My doctor told me that was sometimes a symptom of nerves making new pathways and that it can happen for years after the scar was formed. Apparently nerves are always making new pathways and when they have to go over, through, around (i'm not sure what they do) the scar tissue you can get weird sensations like itching, tingling etc.

Mine is mostly numb, then there will be small areas that sting, or burn. I've had ice suggested by nurses in recovery- pretty much what Sharon said. Nerve damage means fun sensations.
The thought of another C section if I want to have a sequel makes me sad.

When my stretch marks itch, I use Lubriderm lotion to make them feel better.

My scar is 28 years old and still does that now and then. Making is more embarassing is that mine was a bikini line incision that has "dropped" over the years so there is no discreet way to scratch it when others are around. I have no explanation for the recurring itching other than maybe hormonal changes?? I use lotion or body oil daily so I know its not dry skin and the appearance is the same as its been since the redness faded. |

The thought of another C section if I want to have a sequel makes me sad. Do your research and have a talk with your OB/GYN about the type of incision done during your C-Section and if normal labor and delivery is possible for you. I had a C-Section with my son (first child) but went through "normal" child birth with my two daughters. What made it possible was that my internal incision was horizontal which from what I understand means less possibility of rupture during labor. My incision was also very low but from going through the classes with DD2 when she was pregnant, I got the impression that standard practice now is to make them higher than mine was. |

Calamine lotion? I had a funny epi scar from DS. Hurt for years when the weather changed. I always thought that was some hillbilly myth until it happened to me.  |

I've got a hysterectomy scar that will itch on occasion. Neosporin helps. My surgery was forever ago, so I am always surprised when it itches. <<Swamp is on the lamb after murdering Apple and can't risk logging online. >> And dare I ask how in the world Swamp got involved with bestiality? That could be the cause of her itch. Just sayin'.  |

Could it be shingles underneath the scar?

It's better, you see, because even she doesn't know where the lamb will go since it wasn't trained for this. |

That could explain Swamp's itching.  |

My hysterectomy scar does the same thing from time to time and it's really aggravating. I had the operation in 1974, so it's been a long time.
Like michlyn's mine is pretty low so I can't really itch it if I'm out in public. I use Neosporin too and it helps. |

Did you know that you can get tests to show the level of alcohol in breast milk. So if you indulged you know to not breastfeed until clear.
I poke my hysto scar, can't feel a thing.
