Anyone get a rash on their butt postpartum?

I just noticed this rash and I’m freaking out. I got a c section, and was in hospital a total of 4 days.

Maybe it's from being on your bum all the time due to just having a C-Sec. Use your normal body cream to moisturise it, but keep an eye on it. If it gets worse, then it's something else that needs a Doc.

It’s probably from being on your butt for the full 4 days. If you didn’t get up and move around, then you’ll likely have the postpartum rash. It could be allergic reaction to medication as well.

Could it be hormonal rash? Though I'm not sure that can be just the butt.

Could be blocked pores from sitting/laying after a c section. Lots of sweat and grime is expected. If you removed hair it’s probably that the hair follicles are infected from sitting / not getting air to them (usually clears up on its own, like facial acne) Personally: generally it looks like irritation and/or It looks like what I get if I remove hair from that area without the right prep or after care. Depends on the situation / the events that led up to it I suppose!

I had a c section and I had a similar rash. I put it down to it being roasting in the hospital and wearing those uncomfortable mesh knickers x

For me I was allergic to the postpartum underwear
