Numb patches on skin

Has anyone experienced this before? I’m wondering if it can be caused by a trapped nerve somewhere…..
On just my left side I have random sections of what feels like numb skin however it’s not completely numb but it’s definitely reduced feeling.
It’s above my C Section scar on the left, going up by stomach a few inches, then a patch about half way up my back and on my hip bone down to the top/outside of my thigh. I have no other symptoms, conditions etc and it isn’t getting any worse. If it persists I will phone the GP but for now I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Was your c-section recent? I have this and was told it could be nerve damage due to the epidural I had when I was in labour. It could also be due to the section itself as you're bound to lose some sensation at the site of a scar.

No it was 18 months ago. I have always had about an inch either side of my scar that is numb but the rest is new.
