2 and a half years ago, I had my daughter by emergency c section. About a week later my scar became infected. They gave me antibiotics for it and it healed up perfectly. However, now I'm having real problems. The scar is healed but I have never had problems like this before. It's very very red, it smells, super sore. Coughing hurts and bending hurts. I am overweight weighing in at about 15-16 stone at age 20. I took myself to the doctor and they said to put this cream on it and it should clear up. I used it once and it actually did not help at all. I used talc to try to dry it out as it's constantly wet (not sure if that's from sweating or weeping or both!) Anyway it's back now with a vengeance and I don't want to go back to the docs as clearly it's a waste of time. Has anyone else had anything like this? Please no judging as I'm brand new to this!!
