Stretch marks/blisters

I am 4 weeks pp and just in the past few days I've developed some blisters in the stretch marks near my incision. I'm thinking that it is due to my jeans rubbing against my stomach because I've wore them more this past week than previously. Though I only wear them out so maybe just for a few hours at a time. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, any suggestions on how to make them less painful or easier to avoid without wearing sweatpants everywhere?

    I had dry skin that was flaking just like a sunburn from wearing pants. So I just started wearing pants that hit my stomach in different areas. It took a couple days to go away and hurt!

    People have told me they have put maxi pads in their pants or underwear over the incision site to cushion the area. I haven't tried it but it makes sense. Hope you feel better!

    If you have a belly band from early pregnancy, wearing it under your pants, over your incision can help. That's how I wear my non-maternity "fat pants."

    And now it seems like the areas that have

    I had that happen because of a maxi pad and the friction. I treated it like my newborn's diaper rash: put some Vaseline on it and the problem vanished.
