Overhang Rash/Redness underneath
Hey everyone,
So basically where my lovely “overhang is” on my belly and just below my scar I have a really bad red rash and it has a slight smell 🤯😢
I’ve never had this before with my previous ones.
Has anyone else had this if so how did you clear it up?
My wound isn’t infected though…
Thank you x

I had the same it’s a sweat rash. I am 6 weeks pp and it hit me at like week 3.
I made sure you wash it regular with water no soap (doesn’t help the smell tho which was frustrating) I dried it with a hair dryer on the cool setting and put a sanitary towel on it to help keep it dry. It worked wonders for me xx
coconut oil helps even after the healing, i usually clean it with peroxide and apple cider vinger using cotton swibs. i believe mines come because of the extra skin hanging over it
can u send me the name of the cream
I’ve seen mums say put a sanitary pad along the inside of your knickers along the wound to absorb moisture x
I got this literally every other day! I found using a hair dryer after a bath/shower to completely dry the area and then I tuck my top under my overhang and it doesn't get sore like with a Sanitary towel
But you need to be careful I took to long to do something about it and didn't keep it dry enough snd it caused a few openings in my wound and an infection
Also air it out as much as you can
