C section recovery

I had a c section 5 weeks ago. My scar has a very minor infection which I’m on day 3 of antibiotics it’s only a superficial infection. I’ve noticed when I press on my stomach above the scar it feels tender. Not painful just tender. Is this normal for 5 weeks post section? Looking for some reassurance! ❤️

I’m almost 7 months pp and mine is numb but itchy at the same time
