Normal for a c section scar?

It’s been over a year since my c section and the scar is a very red line. I’ve heard people say theirs is silver and barely noticeable. Mine is vey obviously red. Not bothered about appearance but is this a health issue?

Mine was red for about 3.5 years. For me that was completely normal. Mine is still not totally silver and is dipped on one side.

Mine never faded to silver after DD. I got pregnant with DS 18 months later, and 9 months since having DS (also c section - they went in through the scar) it's still red. Not an angry inflamed red, but definitely coloured.

It’s normal for it to be a red line after a year.
