Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. As you have mentioned a swollen area, red, painful and itchy -it seems to be a local infection of a cyst formed in previous c section area. You must clean it savlon and apply antiseptic ointment do dressing of that area. Take painkillers like brufen or voveran for pain.
