problem after c sectionhi, i am 5 weeks post c section, my scar got infected but thar had almost healed except on the right side of my c section scar there was for the last few days a very small "bubble" of flesh, today there is something coming out of it, it looks like a string (a bit like a mini umbilical cord) and it is dried up (except just where it is coming out), i tried to gently pull it but it wont come out, also i had staples put in and these were taken out after 5 days, could you please tell me what this might beThank youHelen aged 32
Hi, I have gone through your query. From your history it seems like that string like thing is part of suture accidentally stuck in the area. It resulted in local inflammation resulting in improper healing of the scar at right side. If it is suture, then you should see your doctor again for cutting out the extra part otherwise Betadine ointment will help in reducing the problem along with antibiotic like amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin.
