What Causes Boils Under The Incision Line After A C-section?

Hi there,I am just inquiring as I have had an emergency c section 3 weeks ago,I ve had what looks like I boil in the gap between my thigh and pubic area. It popped itself a little while ago,and I squeezed everything out it was gross!! Now I have another one the size of a ping ping ball just under my incision line. Its painful,I had quite bad ingrown hairs before having myc section... its it possible that both times it could have been an infected hair follicle??

Hi,

I have gone through your question and understand your concern. I believe it’s because of infection as it’s recurring and painful. I advise you to take Augmentin duo 625 BD for 5 days. Keep the area clean and dry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Naira Jahangir,
