Stitches infected?
Doctors,
I gave borth to my son vaginally on 29th March. These are the condition of my stitches today. I'm getting stinging sensation near the one with yellow color. Is that pus? Is this infected? Will antibiotics heal it?
My gyn told me not to use betadine as I'll not be able to check pus formation. But ive started using it since few days.
