I had my second c section 6 weeks ago. Was an emergency.

Today whilst going a toilet I felt some stinging and noticed a red line. Please see imagine.

Had anyone had this before? Can this be common? Thank you.

Sorry I am confused, where is this line?

Also confused, looks too small to be a CS scar. I had one with my first DD, the scar was sore a year later. I found clothes rubbed. If that is the operation site,if it's red around the scar,hot to touch the skin, weeping or oozing likely an infection. But it's major surgery, it will be sore. I've had major abdominal surgery since the CS, and it was much less painful weirdly
I think it's just one of those things.

Is it the incision site or is it a growing line? If it’s a growing line you need to be seen for antibiotics. Put a little bit of pen next to the edge if you can’t tell if it’s growing. But if you are sure it’s a line then you need to get to a gp or an and e.
