Sore scars please help!!

One of my scars it a red and looks a bit swallon on one end, I really don’t want to get a infection has anyone else had this? Also I feel like my bra might just be rubbing it! Has anyone been told they can put anything on there scars? Im 16 days po xxx thank you xxx

Mine were red and sore too, i was also worried but they were fine. be careful though, Is there any discharge seeping from the wound? Do they feel unusually hot, and is the redness just on the scar, or has it started to blemish around the scar? If in doubt call the nurse in the morning to make n appointment or even to your local clinic or chemist for advice. Hope everything goes ok

It’s a tiny red patch a little bit around the scar but doesn’t seem to get any bigger. Did you have to take tablets? I might call the clinic tomorrow just to check! I get worried, there not constantly hot though! Xxx

I took the antibiotics the first week, and a few pain killers but that was it. My mum is a nurse so I made her check every day lol! It’s natural to worry about infection coz it’s a big thing and your right to be cautious.

The main signs of infection I look for with patients is puss, more reddness than expected, hot to touch and in worse case feeling sick and fever. if you have any of these signs I would visit your local surgery with the nurse, they are good with wounds it’s best to be safe and get it sorted than suffer in the long run.

Thank you so much the only sign is redness at the mo but think I might call and get it checked over and stick to my macom rather than other support bras xxx

daniellejade,call the nurse and get it checked out,at least then you will have peace of mind,that’s what they are there for.xxx
