Hi, I have gone through your question. Keloid in the caesarean scar leads to itching and discomfort. Steroid ointment can be applied locally on the scar. It relievesy the itching and is safe to apply in pregnancy.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist so that appropriate ointment can be prescribed.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
