If you had a C-section, your doctor likely created an incision across your lower abdomen (near your bikini line). As it heals, this line will remain slightly raised, puffy, and pink or reddish, but it will go down over time as your scar flattens and heals.
You may experience some numbness, itchiness, or soreness around your incision site as you recover. This is a normal part of the healing process. You may also notice some inflammation around the wound, which should gradually disappear over time.
If you notice blood, discolored fluid, or pus, call your healthcare provider right away. Try to keep the area dry and clean to promote healing and comfort.
