My wife delivered a baby through a ceasarian operation last January 2006. I thought her scar is healed, but lately, a small boil appeared to her scar. It has a size of 3mm dia. and appeared to be swollen. We visit her obstetrician and prescribed us the ointment. It healed. Afterwards, another one appeared to the other side.Does it mean that the operation not totally healed ? Im worried.

As long as she is being treated by your medical professional I wouldn't worry. Scars like that aren't always so easy to heal. Just make sure they are treated well and try to relax. It is sweet of you to be so concerned. Your wife is lucky to have such a concerned partner, and so is your baby I'm sure.

It takes at least 5-6 months for the cut to heal and even longer for it to fade. A C-section is a serious operation. They probably used catgut to sew the layers together that have to dissolve and sometimes a piece of the cat gut will manage to move to the surface. If it's a bikini-cut, there are also hair follicles there that could possibly become infected. So long as she's in a doctor's care, you need not worry. It's a good thing that you're paying attention to her though.

Hey my daughters mom has had 4 c sections and she gets boils all the time. I wouldnt worry about it too much. If the antibiotic cream doesnt do anything for it then worry.

Did the first one go completely away?
Hmmm.
