A member asked:
What am i going to do with my incision after 1 month? do i still have to put gauze after cleaning it? i had a c-section 1 month ago.

It's healed: After one month, your c-section scar should have completely healed. If that's the case you don't need any gauze. Applying cacao butter to the wound 4 times daily will make the scar thinner and softer. Good luck from nyc.
