Although strange b/c I've had three csections and this is the only time I've experienced this. I tried hydrocortizone cream and did benedryl last night, but no relief. Its not getting worse, but not getting better. I'm wondering if it might be something to do w/ hormonal sweating (at night) and having those hospital undies on top. It showed up 3 days post csection so I can't imagine it was the spinal block drugs. OB on call last night was less than helpful. Regular OB not in until Tuesday. I am scared it's an infection but my incision site looks perfect normal and actually the bumps aren't even really around that area -- more above it.
See an allergist! I had a rash, too and the ob and my primary dr were no help.
