Thank you because I was getting a little creeped out lol

it may be fine over time - I think I had something similar after surgery.

I have the two bottom most incisions are much more inflamed than the top ones. The bottom right one is reddish and tender and still has a scab. I just think there was more damage there.

Thanks ladies for the response. I spoke with my surgeon and they said they believe it’s a hemotoma (if that’s how it’s spelled) which is normal it’s not showing signs of infection and they also said it will dissolve on its own

Is it the incision on the right side? This is the one where they usually pull your tummy out so it may be additionally bruised & strained if it’s that one. (It’s often a little larger too.) But yes, if it is warmer to touch, inflamed, etc. you may have an infection & will need antibiotics.

I was told that sometimes you can feel a lump under the incisions and that it is normal and will fade. I do agree though,if it is red and warm , it might be infected,Keep an eye on it and don't wait too long to see your doctor.

If it looks/feels infected, you need to get medical attention for it. Did they send you off with antibiotics? Does the incision feel warm to the touch, or look very red? Even your reg fam doctor can take a look at it to see if it shows signs of infection. They can also do a finger prick to check your WBC count.
