Hi all, my section was nearly 5 weeks ago, but a week ago last Friday the scar had split in 3 places, small surface splits about 1 cm long each.
I went to the docs on the Friday to be told it was fine...
However the splits didn't settle down so I went back to the docs last Tuesday, they gave me a course of antibiotics which I finish tonight but there is still one split just over a cm long which is oozing, smells unpleasant and won't seem to heal over at all.
I have been keeping the wound clean with soap and water every day as advised by the docs but my scar is very tucked away under my new extra bit of baby tummy and its v.hard to let the air get to it, which I think can't be helping it to heal.
I am planning to go back to the docs tomorrow as I think I will need more antibiotics/antibiotic cream to get this sorted.
Has anyone else had a similar c-section experiance? If so did you use anything on the split scar to help it heal and how long did it take to sort itself out?
Thanks
