What Causes Soreness And Smell On Caesarean Scar?
I have had 2 caesareans, the last one was 19 yrars ago, I have never had any problems with the scar, apart from the flap of skin that hangs over. Last night I noticed 2 sores in the flap and there was a strange smell when I cleaned the area. Should I seek medical advice?
