I noticed my C-section smelling the other day now it smells rotten like a dead mouse I was walking all over the house trying to find a dead mouse it was my inscion smelling that way and it was embarrassing becuase it’s so strong my mom smelt it too . This is a photo of one side the other side is in comments please let me know I called up to my ob but they can’t get me in till my 6 week appointment and that’s on the 8th of July . What should I do ? I have been cleaning it and using guazes to help trap moisture from getting into it since I have an apron belly and letting it air out too while I’m laying down I don’t know what to do but it burns off and on and is now really red and looks like of crusted on the corners ? Also my doctor said at my 2 week follow up that my c section was healing in her words “beautiful especially around the corners “ so Idk how it went from healing real good to this in a little over a week I had a pico vacuum on after my ceasarean due to fluid leaking but it collected all of it and she took it off at that follow up appointment but now she’s out of office cus she moving to Tennessee so I’ll have a new doctor and idk if she Put in my chart what it looked like or not at that appointment I have no fluid that I know of leaking right now just kinda moisturizer I guess from sweat cus it’s summer and I clean it and pat it dry
