Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimple with puss after c-section. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons hematoma , local infection or folliculitis . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to it to increase the blood supply which in turn heal the pimple , take ibuprofen as anti inflammatory and apply over the counter antibiotics cream twice a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult your surgeon and discuss the condition with hism/her . Doctor may drain the pus surgically under local anesthesia , prescribe antibiotics like clarithromycin along with vitamin supplement for quick healing .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
