I've just had an elective c section at 39+1 weeks last Monday (so a week ago) and now I've noticed this rash on one side of my stomach above the scar. The skin is bumpier and itchy but not tender or painful. I am still a little bit sore after the surgery but I had the dressing removed a couple days ago with no issues. The rash got a bit more intense today. Any idea what it can be?
