mine feels numb from the outside but it feels itchy underneath sometimes which is really annoying!! lol! i've had my scar for nearly 6 years xXx

My scar is barely visible but yes, it still feels slightly numb and I have had it for well over 7 years!!

[My Angel Pie]

Ditto....my scar is 7 years old, still feels numbish and not part of me really! but then i was grateful to have it (my little one was 10lb!!!)

Mines nearly 22 years old and i still get the odd itch !

[mycats]

My scar has never felt numb, how strange, I feel left out now lol
(my boy was 9lb 7 1/2 oz, so i was grateful too angel pie lol)

usually around 6-9 months the numbness goes away.

what a great question! Why does it itch so; last week I was in AGONY. Is mine the only one which is raised and red? Do all types of scars itch so and why only at certain times?
Mine is 9 in July.

[~posy-jo~]

sunflower mine is raised too and the itching can drive you insane sometimes! lol xXx

Cliffsgirl, I've had 3 C Section's,the 1st was 36 years ago,then another 34 years ago and lastly 21 years ago. The cut area is still numb yet sensitive to touch and as for itching..lol.

Nice to know it isn't just me. When I had my boy, it was said the surgeon was a very fast worker (and his name was Dr Slack lol) and I always thought that was why my scar was a bit iffy.
Also , parts around it have no nerve endings. Ho hum .

Thanks lots I hadnt noticed mine itch for ages now its off again. I reckon it was about a year before the overhang went along with the inching. It came back though with preg number 2. I had natural birth then and havnt noticed it since until now. Thanks lots!!!!!!
