C section scar

I'm a larger lady since having my son and my tummy overhangs my c section scar therefore it doesn't get alot of air. I looked down at it last night and was shocked to see it was red raw & had a rash around it. I did feel it slightly pull yesterday when playing with my son, so don't know whether this is the reason or whether it's just a bit sweaty down there! Does anyone else have this and have any tips for it to get better?

I have this problem all the time girl! It got to a point where I went to the gp and was prescribed cream for it xxx

Should like sweat rash tbh. After 2 years playing with your toddler wouldn’t cause damage as you are more than fully healed. I’ve seen mums say they put a panty liner along the hem of their knickers so it soaks up moisture near their scar and keeps it dry 😊maybe give that a go

I do get it sometimes, just make sure to dry throughly after bath/shower, when in shower use shower head to give it a good clean, I try and stay away from lots of soap Bcos it sometimes irritates it. Sudocreme is the best, it will get rid of it over night
