Recovering from birth

[Snugglepot]

Any advice please....

I had four little stiches after giving birth to DS 12 weeks ago. They were fine for about a week, but since then I have had a little sore that just will not heal. (the stiches have dissolved now) It does not need another stich and the doc suggested salt baths and drying off with a hair dryer. I have tried these and still have the small open sore that will not go away.....

Has this happened to anyone else or do you have any advice? It is driving me and the DH a bit crazy!

Thanks

Hi Kez,
Not sure if it'll help, but maybe you could try putting some pawpaw ointment on it? It also helps to make sure everything is really clean and dry all the time down there. I had quite a few stitches, and the pawpaw ointment helped them heal really quickly.
Hope this helps!

I tore quite a lot with the birth of my son, and had a lot of stitches, the only thing I ever used was medi-honey on a san pad, and Ihealed really well.

I hope you find something which really works for you.
