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!

have you tried spraying colloidial silver on your skin? t is anti microbial

I have had 3 c-sections. I did not have a rash after the first one (9 yrs ago) But my 2nd c-section (21 months ago) I had a very bad rash, my dr. thought it was a yeast infection type rash from my neck to my knees, thought to be caused from the surgical tape used, had it for about 3 weeks after, then dr. treated it w/ diflucin, (yeast infection meds) It went away. I just had another c-section on Nov 20th and they did not use the surgical tape on me this time to keep this from happening and well it has happened again. I have a yeast infection type rash all over from my ears to my feet. The diflucan is not working this time, but I did not have this rash till I got home and was switched from the brand purkucet, (sorry can't spell) to the generic, maybe it is a response to the fillers used in this generic pain med? I have not used those meds in about 3 days and I still have the rash, just not as bad. So maybe not?? Oh and I itch like crazy, too. I have tried both vagasil and benadryl cream to get rid of this itch. I am hoping that someone will come along w/ an answer.
