@simona it doesn’t help that I have an overhang :( seems impossible to keep it dry properly . Do you have any tips?
Mines the same, I got the midwife to check it because I said I feel like it’s got a smell… and she was happy with the look of it that was over a week ago when my little girl was signed off. Now it’s red, tender and smells worse 🫣 I’ve been prescribed two lots of antibiotics to get on top of the infection, please keep an eye on it xx
Yeh I will think il give the doctors another call tomorrow x
Air the areas out and Stick a maternity pad to the inside of your pants- it’ll help keep the area dry. I had the same and so did my sister, seems to happen to chubbier girls/girls with a belly or overhang cause it’s in the crease but nothing to worry about xx
@Charlotte yeah I actually had an overhang too (still do 🤷♀️)😭 The only thing I used to do was to towel dry really well after showering (delicately though) and lay on the bed holding my belly slightly up to air the scar for about 10 minutes 🤷♀️ Also, wearing light clothing helped xx
The cream seems to be doing something so that’s good, thank you every one :) xx
I have over hang and the midwife told me to use a rolled up muslin cloth under my over hang to keep it dry x
Yes mine was also the same. I put the antifungal cream as well and it got better in a week or so xx
