Hi all, I am 12 weeks post natal from elective c section for breech baby that went completely to plan. I got small infection 9 days PP but that was due to midwife leaving a stitch in. Course of antibiotics and all cleared up haven’t had a single problem for 10 weeks. The last week or so it’s been really itchy and the last 2 days quite sore and tender as am typing this it’s kind of stinging me. Has anyone had this and have any advice on what it could be ? I just realised aswell it’s bank hol so can’t contact nt doctor till Tuesday now.
thanks

I've had this and it's been because something I've worn has been rubbing on it and caused a rash. Some Sudacrem sorted it.

Try sudocreme as hugasaurus suggested. Or something like canesten for thrush?

I'm having the exact same thing! 14 weeks post section (no healing complications) and this last week my scar has been so itchy, a bit sore and gone darker. I haven't worn or used anything different. Baffled
