    That is the nerves talking to each other as they try to find their other halves.
    It should go away as it heals.

    While I haven't had a C-Section I've had a a few Operations, try gently rubbing the scar every day with your hands , and fingers or as often as you can remember. This will help the nerves heal, and stop going "pain ouch" (which the burning sensation is my surgeons explained) when there is nothing there, and form normal connections again in the skin to touch.

    Does take awhile but can help alieviate that sensation ones the new nerves grow in. Months sometimes. If you dont touch the scar at all, the nerves will not learn and not form normal touch connections and it will continue to give of pain when touched or that burning sensation.

    I've had to do this for my knee reconstruction and my gall bladder operation and the scars now dont have weird sensations and respond to touch like normal skin.

    The other thing is if touching the scar itself is too bizarre, then map out the "funny area" around the scar, and focus your touching on the border between the normal and funny areas. The normal area should slowly get bigger and the funny area smaller.

    It's normal, hun. I had a tummy tuck in March and still have a scar that burns, itches, feels numb and bloody well hurts. Hope your nerve damage heals soon and you don't have those irritating sensations any more
