What to do if the cesarean section scar turns red

After a caesarean section, a woman's belly will be left with scars, which are difficult to remove. Some women may also encounter the problem of redness of the scar after cesarean section. For this type of problem, you must confirm whether it is caused by infection. You can also eat more foods that speed up wound healing.

1. If there is no infection, it doesn’t matter if the incision is red. But if it is scarred skin, the possibility of leaving scars will be greater. Glucose is the main energy provider for the human body, and supplying adequate energy is essential for wound healing. During the wound healing period, you can eat more fruits rich in sugar, which can not only increase the sugar content but also provide sufficient vitamins.

2. Honey promotes wound healing. The anti-infection effect of honey can not only quickly clear existing infections, but also protect wounds from other infections. Honey can clean wounds and remove bad odors. The anti-inflammatory properties of honey can reduce edema and shrink scars. Honey can promote the formation of epithelial tissue and granulation and promote healing. Applying honey directly on the skin or wounds has the effects of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hemostatic, reducing edema and promoting wound healing.

3. If the cesarean section scar is red and swollen in the early stage of scar formation, it is caused by scar hyperplasia. When the scar proliferates, there are new nerve endings in the scar, but they are disorderly. At this time, not only will the scar appear red and swollen, but it may even be accompanied by slight itching. If the cesarean section scar becomes red and swollen after entering the mature and stable period, it is very likely that the scar has become inflamed due to scratching or friction in daily life.

4. Redness and swelling that appear in the early stage of cesarean section scar formation is a sign of scar proliferation. In order to inhibit scar proliferation as much as possible, you should take or apply some drugs that inhibit scar proliferation orally or topically under the advice of a professional doctor. Redness and swelling that appear on cesarean section scars that enter the mature and stable period is mostly due to inflammation of the scar. At this time, you can go to a regular medical center and receive treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
