My c section scar?

my c section scar is all red and swollen and at sometimes during the day burns
not really pain but sometimes burns
it looks a little bruised also
what is wrong with it
(it is 2 years old and i never had anything like this before)
it started 2 days ago

lol clauzilla

just dont scratch it or rub it.
it is a scar, and my doc told me the stiches inside take 2 yrs to heal. maybe ur outside stiches r telling u that the inside stiches r infected.
go to the doc. they might give u a cream or anti biotics.

Not for sure what is wrong with it, but put coco butter lotion with vitamin E in it and it will help out a great deal with any pain and healing of scars.

HI TINK.. YOU MAY HAVE A KELOID, YOU NEED TO SEE YOUR DR AND LET HIM TAKE A LOOK AT IT .

You might want to make an appointment with the doctor. I had two c-sections. My scare is sometimes a little itchy or burns slightly, but nothing that is that bad. Mine was never swollen or bruised after it healed.
Here's a web site that explains what a keloid is. I had to look it up after reading one of the other responses.

Is it the entire scar? Maybe shaving irritated it?

Try some Neosporin or A&D ointment and see if that doesn't calm it down.

Where is the top of your underwear hitting you? I have issues when the top rests on the scar.

But, my real question is: could you be pregnant? The C-section scar from my first child went a little nuts when I was in the first trimester with the second.

You may have irritated the scar somehow, a waistband rubbing it can do it. You may also have formed adhesions at that spot, it's not uncommon at all. Adhesions can cause problems even 2 years down the road, and may cause pain and burning with movement or touch. Another possibility, believe it or not, is that you could be rejecting a piece of suture material that wasn't absorbed completely. Although it should dissolve in a matter of months, it may not always. Eventually it irritates the surrounding tissue enough that the body tries to reject it and force it to the surface. That process can take some time- it's a process similar to what happens with a splinter, but as the suture is much deeper it takes longer. If this is the case, it should be pretty much limited to a specific spot along the scar line. If your entire scar is having problems, then you probably have either an irritated scar tissue or adhesions. You should make an appointment with the doctor to have it checked out. Adhesions can sometimes be released in a laproscopic procedure if necessary. Meantime, try covering it with a large bandage to keep it from being rubbed, and you can also try rubbing Mederma into the scarline. That can help smooth the scar, and it will also help with irritation.

Don't panic - but the doctor did not remove the twin and he is attempting to chew his way out. Drink a fifth of whiskey to slow him down and get to an obstetrician STAT.
