C section itchy scar

[Beatlesfan]

Had a c section a month ago. Had my scar checked last week and doc said it was all good. Today it is itching and I want to scratch it. Of course I won't but just wondered if this was normal? I remember when I had scabs/scars as a child and it itched my mum would say it's getting better -is this true or an old wives tale? Scar looks healthy enough.
Thanks.

Yeah they itch like crazy after a few weeks!

I like to think its a good sign!

Its a really good sign that its itchy.. it is a sign of healing and that the nerves in the skin are repairing themselves..

If its really bothering you, put some e45 cream on them, or arnica which will help with the healing process if the scar has completely healed
