A member asked:

C section 4 months ago (bikini incision) is it normal when touched for numb/tingling sensation & slight discomfort to be from scar up to belly button?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, skin nerves: Those are cutaneous (skin) nerves that were cut at the C/section that are regenerating.
