incision infection?

[kayla93]

Hey ladies,
I had a c section 8 almost 9 weeks ago due to baby being breech. I noticed at around 4 weeks that the incision had little pockets of pus, so I went into the doctor and he said that it looked like it was just dry and to put lotion on it. I didnt really agree with him but let it go anyway. It continued so I talked to my regular doctor at my 6 week checkup and he said it looked like maybe one of the stitches was irritated, so I let it go again. Now 8 almost 9 weeks postpartum it still gets pockets of pus. There also is a small hole right on the incision. parts of it look like they healed well but other parts look red and there is the one hole. I was just wondering if any of you ladies have had this happen and know what it could be? Ive included a picture so maybe that will help. Thanks in advance ladies

I can't tell from the photo but if there is a small hole and pus I would say go see a different doctor or even a nurse to be sure. My first one opened up quite a bit and got infected and the nurse dressed it a few times and my GP gave me antibiotics for it.

Hope it heals for you soon.

It is pretty red for being 9 weeks, I would seek another doctor. To put lotion on a wound that is healing at 4 weeks doesn't seem like good advice to me.
