I too had a c-section and thought it was just normal, the first 9 months I went to everyone my obgyn, dermatologist, 6 weeks after the surgery I ran a high fever and was told that was normal according to the dr on call for my obgyn. My wound had a foul smell, drainage, and was read and painful. Finally 9 months of this ordeal, my husband got his insurance back and I could go see my regular PCP, he immediately told me what was wromg, he said I had cellulitis/steph infection, he put me on cefaloxen, washing it everyday w/ Hibecleans an antimicrobial wash, and then putting nizoral creme on it. Finally it is gone, the smell and pain is gone--def get it checked out!
