C section scar cream after a caesarean
Many women experience scar problems after a caesarean section. These can last for a year after the operation, or even longer. Common complaints include:
- Redness
- Itching
- Pain
- Swelling or thickening of the scar
- Ugly appearance of the scar
Sound familiar?
Many women describe a ‘pulling’ sensation. In some cases, the pain radiates to other parts of the body, such as the hip or back. This pulling sensation happens because scar tissue is far less flexible than healthy skin.feeling arises because the scarred skin is much less flexible than normal skin.
Best care for a scar with a c section scar cream
Note: Regardless of your type of scar complaint, always consult your doctor first. Although the above issues are common, we cannot determine the exact cause via this website. For example, a red and painful scar may be inflamed due to infection. Our product, ALHYDRAN c section scar cream, is not effective against infection.
The good news is that effective scar care is possible. The right c section scar cream can reduce (or even eliminate) discomfort, and help your scar heal in the best possible way.
First of all, your wound must be completely closed before applying any cream or ointment. You can, however, support the healing process beforehand by airing the wound regularly and keeping it dry. This helps prevent infection.
After the wound has closed:
It is best to start using a quality scar cream as soon as the skin is closed. Without it, you may experience redness, itching, pain, swelling, and be left with a noticeable scar.
These problems often arise because damaged skin cannot retain enough moisture to heal properly. The dryness leads to discolouration, itching, and the familiar pulling sensation many women describe.
ALHYDRAN scar cream helps keep scarred skin flexible, preventing these complaints and supporting faster recovery. Because our c section scar cream provides optimal hydration, it can also minimise scar formation. In some cases, the scar may become barely visible over time.

ALHYDRAN user experiences
ALHYDRAN has produced excellent results for people with post-surgical scars:
“About one and a half years ago I had a serious car crash, after which I underwent several operations. I also had skin transplants. A friend recommended ALHYDRAN. Now, after using it for approximately three weeks, I can see improvement in certain areas. The scars are no longer such a fiery red colour. I’ve also noticed an improvement in the colour of the areas where I had skin transplants.
It’s pleasant to use because it makes the skin flexible and draws quickly into the skin. I recently started using ALHYDRAN on my face because I also had red spots there, which had previously had laser treatment. I can also see improvement on my face. I will continue to use ALHYDRAN for a quite some time!”

“I must first of all thank you for the sample. I used Dermatix silicone scar gel for at least a year after the latest of many schisis operations. It found that it burns a bit. I have now used ALHYDRAN for at least two weeks and have noticed that it’s much better than Dermatix. The scar now feels smooth and doesn’t look so red.”
– Wanda, from Amsterdam, the Netherlands
“In April and October 2012 I received new knee prostheses because both knees were worn out. After the operations my son gave me ALHYDRAN to put on the scars. The scars were so thick, stiff and knobbly – and it was really painful to get my knees to bend when exercising. After applying ALHYDRAN – four times a day in the beginning – this improved quickly. The physio and orthopaedist were also amazed at the results!”
– Ms Baltink
