C section infection? TMI pic

Question

Hi had my baby almost 6 weeks ago and my c section is mainly itching and stinging like crazy . There is this crust like stuff on it. I called nurse line they said not to worry unless it’s oozing out pus or lots of watery fluid. There’s only been a few drops of fluid. My dr appt is on Friday 5 days away. what do you guys think?

Answer

I think it looks normal, especially after what the nurse said- I would trust it. They will air on the safe side, especially with the high chance of infection with a c-section. (I had one too.) It’s pink, not red, right? The itching is good, that’s a telltale sign of healing! And mine stung for the first 2-3 months, personally!! You don’t have a fever, so you? Did the nurse ask you about other symptoms?

Answer

Looks normal and not infected

Answer

Could be yeast infection on the wound, I suffer with the same still 18 weeks pp! Keep dry and clean as best you can, that’s all that works for me!
