Csect Binder

Is it necc to wear the abdominal binder given by the hospital? I stopped wearing mine 1 week pp due to an allergic rash. I tried wearing it again recently (currently at 2 weeks pp) but I feel so much more pressure and discomfort/soreness at wound area when walking around. Should i still force myself to wear the binder? Or is it ok to forgo wearing it?

my mother who is a masseuse taught me to put a pad over first, use a towel to cover belly and back and bind. it should be itchy (no itchy marks) due to blood circulation. make sure your bind is tight enough to make your spine stay straight but not too tight till you cant breathe.
