Is it normal for dry csection stitch area to itch once in a while ? Especially the ends.

Yeah, because the wound is healing. Just like any normal scratch or abrasion wound, the dry skin would itch when it’s healing. Just resist the temptation to scratch it, mommy. What I did was just to gently smooth over the ends with clean dry finger - not fingernails. Then shift my thoughts elsewhere :)
