Surgery Scars may Itch, but never, ever scratch....

Have you had a Caesarian Section (CS) or any other type of surgery? Are you finding the area irresistibly itchy? You will most likely experience itching at the area for about a year but you should never scratch it. Instead, rub some petroleum jelly over it or mildly tap or rub soothingly to bring relief. Scratching your scars will make it rise above the skin and look unpleasant just like in the picture below.

 

Have you ever experienced the itching? How did you deal with it?
