What Causes Itchy Red Spots Around The C-section Area?
I have little red spots going from my belly button straight down a C-section scar to the bottom and then redness on my left side scar going across, and today is red on my right side scar, both going out from the center. I also have a few red dots on my right side of stomach. I thought they were flea bites. They itched so bad, but then it is also painful. Can it be shingles. I have always read they are on one side only.

dear
might b a case of contact dermatitis .nothing to worry about.a regular antihistamines like levocet5mg daily with a candid powder to dust is better to begin with.
some times post cs we have a itchy rash after the dressing removal due to the gum allergy of the adhesives dressing use.
plenty of water to drink,regular diet and hygiene are the best solution.
herpes is really painful rash and acyclovir ointment should be tried if diagnosed.
hope it helps
