Is there anything u can do for an itchy c-section incision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Healing is an itchy business. Keep the incision clean. Do not risk infection by putting cream or ointment on it. You can use a clean, cool compress if the itching gets out of hand. Hang in there. It will go away.
