A member asked:
I'm almost 6wks pp from a c-section & above the incision is red and swollen but not painful. feels tender like a bruise. is it an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Couldn't say: This is definitely something you should see your ob/gyn doctor for, he/she can tell wether an infection is present or if it is part of the healing process. If not happy with their answer, or keeps getting worse, seek a plastic surgeon.
