Hello girls I’m 5 weeks PO tomorrow and think my right incision is infected, I had a bit of yellow muck on my white bra two days ago and it’s really red and has a little like white scab… I’ve uploaded a picture can anyone advise on if they think its infected or not? I’ve uploaded my left one also as that’s really red too, surely at 5 weeks they should be all good!? Xx
hi hun, send the photos to your pc and ask her to check with a nurse, this would be the best.. keep scars dry and clean. i was told to change bras every day and dry scars with super clean towel or tissues. also sometimes bras press too much on the scars and cause irritation…
hope they will heal soon!

The pic you have uploaded looks like how mine has been doing…ive had to keep going back every few days… they kept popping this orange thing on it and covering it up… they said it was a stitch they could see and if somethings irritating it it wont heal up… just before i left the clinic today the nursr said… any changes, redness or oozing get in touch straight away. It deffo needs covering up to prevent infection but from my recent experience i really think you should have it checked xx
