Scar tissue- itchy

Posted on the childbirth board but didnt get many replies- I hope this doesnt make me a freak, I thought other people would have suffered the same thing, but maybe not...

Anyway, has anyone else had problems with scar tissue after giving birth. I had 3rd degree tear and been told (eventually after seeing about 5 gps) that I have scar tissue around the bottom area. Its itchy all the time and never seems to get better. I'm being referred but wondered if anyone had any experience?? Have heard creams like vitamin e cream might help, got to be worth a try? Surely in this day and age there must be something someone can do, laser treatment maybe? I'm dreading I'm going to be told I need to be cut and re-stitched again which makes me feel panicky just at the thought...

Doctors nurse advised me to air dry c section scar and apply sudocrem SPARINGLY!

It has certainly helped me and sudocrem is meant for babies bottoms, so should be ok.
