Infection or not?
I am 3.5 weeks post partum and area around scar is still sensitive however how do I know if the scar is infected? The scar itself is more red than it has been previously but I don't have any other symptoms. Is this just the colour of its healing process?

Sensitivity can last a while, I’m 17 weeks PP and some areas are still a bit numb but that’s normal. If there is a colour change, where it looks worse, then I’d get it checked. Some doctors have phone appointments where you can discuss over the phone and they can then message you a link where you can text them a photo to save you having to go in.
