Has anyone had a c section and weeks later there would be what looks like a tiny hole or split?

What can I do next?

Yep happened to me. I showed my OB and he cleaned it with antibiotic wash and put a couple sterile strips on. No biggie

Just a section that is not completely healed. Not an emergency. Just have doc check it when you get a chance.

R. - I haven't had a c-section - but I did pull a stitch once...made sure it was clean, then put a steri-butterfly bandage on it. Called the Doctor on Monday - all was good!

It will eventually heal. This happened to the holes when I had gall bladder surgery. I have round gross scars instead of tiny dots where the tools went in. The skin didn't heal right off and separated. If you're keeping it clean it should heal without infection. Call the doc and ask them if they want to put some butterfly bandages on it to pull it back together.

This happened to my friend.
They had her go in & took care of it.
Call your doctor to be sure what they want you to do.

I had a section 4.5. Weeks ago and my scar is completely closed and has been, so yes, I would at least call ASAP. Could get infected.

Is it just a small indention or is their raw skin? Has it healed but there appears to be a space between edges while there is skin also in that space?
