My belly is far from being flat. My doctor (nor from us) says it scar tissue that’s swollen and it should go down. And I also have severe itching on and off during the day. I don’t know if I will ever have a flat abdomen and if it’s actually swelling? And also what’s the itching all about? Can somebody please help me how can I reduce the itching? It’s very uncomfortable as summer is approaching and I wear the compression garment all the time.
