Why is my c-section scar pink and raised?

Pink and raised scars are pretty common... and people tend not to realise that there is something that can be done about them! Both these treatments can be carried out at home once your physiotherapist has explained how to implement them.

Silicone comes in many forms - invisible gels, plasters and dressings. Some are available on prescription from the GP or you can purchase yourself from amazon. Ensure you use the instructions on use because silicone can sometimes cause skin sensitivity.

Scar massage is important because it helps to break down the excess collagen and mobilise the surrounding tissue. Your Physiotherapist can show you different massage techniques that you can carry out at home.

There are other in clinic options such as laser treatment, but these options are a great place to start.
