@laetisha, midwife told me tea tree oil in bath stops itching when healing. I dabbed a diluted solution on with cotton wool as preferred a shower I never got that horrible healing itchy phase xx
As others have said don't over do it and keep on top of your painkillers even if you think you don't need them! I thought I was ok and wasn't that sore so didn't take them but that soon caught up on me!
Don’t over do it, will hopefully ease off soon. I over did it and it’s not helped in the long run due to scarring etc. I was also very sore and refused pain killers as made me sleepy, looking back I was being stupid
