I am 8 weeks postpartum after a cesarean, and I had (still have sometimes) very itchy skin on my stomach. I think it is a normal side effect. I did not have a rash, but that could be from the itching. You may want to try a body lotion or something to ease the itching.

Well I'm almost 5 months pp and my scar still itches sometimes. But, I also had a terrible rash right around my c-section scar about 2 months pp - my daughter was premie and was in the hospital for 6 weeks and we'd gotten scabies there (sounds strange, like it should be sterile, but turns out very common). At any rate mine was centered all around my scar for some reason.

I HAD A SECTION 2 WEEKS AGO AND HAVE HAD A RASH THAT COMES AND GOES AND IS WORSE AT NIGHT.my legs are scratched till blood has been drawn and its now coming out on my arms and body.i did not suffer this after my section with my other son and the only difference is that the second time was planned and the first an emergancy.i cant beleive there are so many of us suffering from this and yet there is no known name but i am convinced its linked to the section!
