How to care for cesarean section scars

After giving birth by caesarean section, scars are inevitable. If the scar is not taken care of properly, it will lead to infection, especially in the hot summer when bacteria breed and it is more likely to cause infection. How can we take good care of the cesarean section scar?

1. Do not remove the scab from the incision too early after surgery. Removing the scab too early and forcibly will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate itching of the wound;

2. Avoid sunlight to prevent ultraviolet rays from stimulating pigmentation;

3. Apply some topical medications such as Fuqingsong, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching;

4. Improve your diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal metabolism. Avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers, onions and garlic;

5. If you want scars to disappear completely and restore your skin to its original appearance, you need to use scar removal products to achieve ideal results.

6. Keep the scar clean and hygienic, wipe off sweat in time, do not scratch it with your hands, rub the scar with clothes or use water to relieve itching, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

The above are some methods for treating cesarean section wound scars. These methods are scientific and effective. Especially in the summer when wounds are not easy to heal, there should be some correct methods to help wounds heal. Incorrect and unreasonable methods will be counterproductive.
