Stretch marks hurting?

2 replies

I had a c section four weeks ago and the only pain I have remaining is pain on each individual stretch mark. It's definitely not the wound or internal, but each stretch mark hurts individually (the area in between them doesn't hurt) - they're so sensitive that clothing brushing past them makes it feel like my skin is on fire.

I know there's creams out there to reduce the appearance of stretch marks - but has has anyone had this pain with stretch marks, and if so what did they do/use to reduce it?

I've had burning from stretch marks before and I put it down to them stretching some more.

I didn't use anything to reduce it but do see someone incase it's your incision healing x

I used cocoa butter on the stretch marks when they hurt, really slathered it on.
