Deodorant with anti perspirant

use a cotton pad and put witch hazel on it to apply to the scar and surrounding area that’s what I do then some deodorant and powder the skin xx

baby muslin cloth I used on my c section scar and it kept it dry

I’ve been using thin sanitary pads to soak up the sweat and keep a gap between the stomach and scar

Every time you take shower …dry it very well with a hair dryer…I had this when I had my baby in august but now its fine … if it’s todo much …do it several times a day because this can cause bad smell and irritation on the scar and it’s not good …

The cotton pads with stay in the scar because the scar it’s wet …this tip my mom gave it to me …after having a surgery

I’ve had 2 prior c sections. The only thing I’ve ever used was panty liners or thin pads to help keep the moisture off. It might become itchy so I used Vaseline here and there.

you can get antibacterial body wash. i use it on any places that get sweaty in the summer heat and it works really well. the only thing is i would maybe ask your doctor or a nurse hotline if it’s okay to use antibacterial soap this early after your delivery. i don’t think there would be any problem but better safe than sorry. i didn’t start using antibacterial soap until about 2 years pp.

I struggle with the same thing. What I normally do is make sure the whole rash is clean and dry then apply aquaphor. Another thing I do is I try to dry it out with isopropyl alcohol. It stings at first but definitely helps in my opinion. Just soak anything cotton like a swab or ball or pad and wipe the area.

Thank you mamas. I’ve tried all of those. I might have to buy a blow dryer for just that area alone tbh.

Cornstarch or baby powder! I should really buy stock in gold Bond lol

no using anything is better because the more thing you use the more sweat is causing …I had two already c sections….powder not good cream not good because that would cause more moist …and all we want is ti maintain that area dry …
