If you had granulated tissue on your scar...

How did you get rid of it?

I'm 5 weeks post section (my third section) and my wound is still a festering mess.

The GP finally prescribed me antibiotics on Friday afternoon but I'm seeing no improvement really.

I've got a 3cm section of raised, weeping tissue that is catching on my underwear and generally just not healing and I'm fed up.

Is there anything I can do? I can't dress it as it needs to air out (tricky with my overhang and breastfeeding a huge baby).

Please help!

When I had my tummy tuck (I lost two c section scars) they recommended using thin surgical tape over the wound to keep it flat and help it heal, it worked
