Itchy c-section scar

Hi, I had my little boy on Saturday and have got up this morning to a very itchy c-section scar. It's healing well, no weepiness or anything so I presume normal. My question is what if anything can I try to soothe the itchiness? I don't think rubbing any cream or oil into it yet is an option as there is a lot of bruising round it and it is so tender to the touch. Any tips/ideas would be most welcome.

I found bathing with a few drops of tea tree oil and lavender oil helped my scar Smile
