Thin skin after having children?

January 4, 2015
Asked By:Starliteone74 in Northbrook, IL

I have 3 children and my youngest is 5. I have very thin skin underneath my c-section scar and when I scratch that area my skin always tears. It'll then ooze with plasma and looks nasty. What are my options?
