C section scar feels hard

I had an emergency C section a year ago and my scar feels hard. Is this normal? I have been massaging it to try to soften the scar. I really don’t like touching my scar as it grosses me out- probably as my birth was quite traumatic. I would love to hear from others if it’s normal for the scar to feel harder then the other surrounding tissue.

It will be the fascia amd scar tissue massaging helps.

If you dont want to do that take a look at silicone patches elastoplast do xl ones for scars

Thank you! Do the silicone patches work for the inner tissue layers? Thank you.
