Is my incision infected?

Question

I’m 3 weeks post partum, and my csection incision is oozing yellowish/bloody discharge from one spot. Does it look infected? I’m calling my dr in the morning. 
Ps- pardon the hair. I can’t shave for 6 weeks.

Answer

No doesn’t look infected

Answer

No, it looks alright. But follow up with doctor just to make 100% sure

Answer

I can’t see anything, make sure to clean the scar with soap and water. If you do see puss contact a doctor, in the meantime put a 4 by 4 pad on the open part to keep it dry and clean.

Answer

I would think so? Puss is always a sign of infection.

Answer

Yellow/green oozing anything isn’t normally good however if it doesn’t smell you should be fine.

Answer

No

Answer

Nah. Red at the incision is normal. If the red starts spreading out away from the incision, you get a fever, it smells bad, those are signs of infection.
