Infected C section

It's 15 & 13 years after my 2 C sections and I have never had problems with it but tonight I noticed a foul smell and realised it came from under my belly folds around the scar. It is quite red, a little sore and there was a lot of moisture. I wonder if I have been rushing too much recently and possibly not dried the area well anough after showering. Could it ne infected?

It sounds like a fungal infection. Bathe with salt water and then cover with Canesten or use Sudacreme until you get some. Don't worry,it's really common.
