Does this look infected? I had an emergency section for the second time 3 weeks ago and recently started hurting and very red, worried it’s getting infected as joined checked it since I gave birth😩

I’d say it’s definitely showing signs of infection Kim 😔 sea salt in boiled water, leave to cool, use cotton swabs (one swab per wipe when cleaning, don’t double dip your water with same wipe), and then gently dab dry and air dry as much as you can. Do this until you get some antibiotics! And keep going until redness goes 🩷

Definitely get checked out. Shouldn't be causing pain or any new feelings of discomfort. Also there's some discoloration that I can't decipher

Send this to your dr because theyll be the one to tell you..I'm not a dr but this does look infected.
