Can I use aloe vera gel on cesarean section scars?

Caesarean section is a surgical procedure. The most common methods of delivery are natural birth and caesarean section, but caesarean section is particularly prone to leaving scars. Many people want to know if aloe vera gel can be used on scars left by cesarean sections. This is also related to personal constitution. It is more difficult to remove scars if you have a scar-prone constitution.

1. The surface of the normal cesarean section abdominal incision has basically healed about a week after discharge. If there is no redness, swelling or pain, there is basically no need to worry about the possibility of infection. If you need to be hospitalized, do not cover it and keep the incision dry. In order to prevent infection, you can also use aloe vera gel, because aloe vera gel itself has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, repairs cells and accelerates metabolism (apply aloe vera gel directly after cleaning the wound).

2. You can apply aloe vera gel on the cesarean section scar, which has a certain effect. However, it is only two months after delivery, and it takes some time for the scar to heal, so don't worry. Generally, it will become lighter after half a year. After one to two years, if you do not have a scar-prone constitution, the scar will become a white line and not very obvious.

3. The caesarean scar is very wide and deep. The only effective way is surgical removal. Removing the caesarean scar is a minor operation and is also very simple, but the doctor must be experienced and know how to eliminate the tension of the incision. Otherwise, the scar will still be obvious after the reoperation. The operation must be performed more than three months after delivery, because at this time the abdomen has shrunk to a stable state and the skin is no longer obviously loose. The doctor will take measures to reduce the tension and then use the suture method of cosmetic surgery. The scar after the operation is very small and basically invisible. It does not affect wearing belly-exposing clothes at all, and it also solves the psychological problem.
