So what started out as a rash

Was a yeast infection for the past month on my c/s area Who even knew you could get one there! My OB actually gave me a hug and told us it was one of the worst he's ever seen. So 2 steroid treatments are helping this thing go away finally!!!

Thank you everyone who tried to help me get this under control

My SIL had that last year after delivering her son & my other SIL had it years after her C-section.

Re: So what started out as a rash

They both said it was from not letting the skin dry completely after showering plus the fact that they had a little "extra" skin there that caused moisture to develop. I was told by my doctor after the c-section (since I too have "extra" skin) to physically lift up the skin & use a blow dryer after showering to make sure the area is dry & to only wear cotton undies. I only did the blow dryer a few times in the very beginning, but I haven't had any problems so far (it's been 4 months)
