8 weeks pp, I get my scar seen once a week since 3 weeks pp due to an infection, had 3 lots of antibiotics, it’s closed then opened in multiple places, then closed and opened again. It was closed Sunday and yesterday had slight bleeding from one part and a small hole again.
I’m so over it now and deflated about I feel like it’s never going to heal, any one else had this? Please tell me there’s light at the end of the tunnel, I’m so scared they will want to restitch it even though drs said that’s rare it’s my worst nightmare!

The bit of my scar that reopened was the bit that ended up healing the neatest and most invisibly and I’ve heard that from a few people. If that’s any comfort. It’s really scary though until it’s healed. All you can do is keep it dry and aired and take the antibiotics and don’t strain too much (hopefully you have help around you otherwise this is hard!)

I had this with my first and at my 6 week appointment got told to smother in sudocrem by GP and it did solve itself

iv also noticed this with my scar opening back up it seems really good on antibiotics it’s so frustrating
