weird orange peel skin on stomach after caesarean, anyone any experience?

After my recent second cs, above where the scar is, I have an area of skin that's got an orange peel texture, and feels tough. The orange peel bit is also a bit tender on the overhang bit right above the scar. I've had an ultrasound, and they seemed to think it was water retention. Has anyone else had similar, and did it go away or did you have to treat it somehow? It's five weeks since the cs, and I seem to be more tender in that area than I remember with the first one. Any advice appreciated.

i have the same after 2 CS and my dd2 has just turned one. i had polyhydramnios with DD2 so the skin on my stomach is trashed, I have no sensation for a large pert, and the aprt and I can feel often is painful.
But she is gorgeous......Smile

thanks for replying, just looked it up, and that doesn't sound fun at all.

sorry hop hop, just realised you said 5 weeks, i misread as 5 months! congratulations, and dont worry, it's early days!

That's alright, it's just it's more uncomfortable now than it was 3 weeks ago! I should be getting better, not worse!
