I have a swimming lesson this evening. The skin around my (old) csection scar is really sore - pic attacked.

Anyone know - does this look infected/should I swim with this...?

Yes.

But see the practice nurse tomorrow - might need some ointment (thrush? Bacterial?)

Canestan will clear that up. I get that on my CS scar. It itches like mad but is still numb when I scratch it Confused
