HI..MY NMAE IS THERESA..HOW ARE YOU DR. GRIEF? THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR US. I HAVE A 36 YEAR OLD C-SECTION INCISION, A BIKINI SMILE THEY CALLED IT BACK IN THE LATE 70 S..SO CUT FROM HIP TO HIP. I HAD COMPLICATIONS AND A TUBE AND OVARY RUPTURED WITH A CYST ON IT AND I LOST THE BABIES AT 8 MONTHS PREGNANT. THEY DID NOT SAVE THEM AND I LOST 5 PINTS OF BLOOD, AND NEAR DEATH, SO I WAS NOT AWARE HOW THEY DID THE INCISION BACK THEN. THE SAME DAY THE DR. RIPPED THE SURGICAL TAPE OFF TO CHECK THE INCISION, WHICH BACK THEN THEY USED THE OLD CAT GUT SO CALLED TO SEW WITH. IT TORE TWO OUT, ONE ON EACH END. HE DID NOT SEW THEM BACK, SO TODAY THEY STILL OPEN WHENEVER THEY GET TOO WARM UNDER THAT LITTLE POUCH THAT HANGS OVER. TWO WEEKS AGO, THEY OPENED, CLOSED BACK IN TWO DAYS AND THEN A HORRIBLE RASH THAT ITCHED AND RAN OVER THE ENTIRE INCISION , AND INCH IS ALL ACROSS THE TOP AND BOTTOM. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING, AND CLEANED EVERY DAY WITH PEROXIDE IN CASE OF YEAST, TOOK A DIFLICAN TABLET, TWO CIPROFLOXIN, 500MG. EACH, IN CASE OF INFECTION. TRIED CALAMINE, AND FINALLY THE ONLY THING HELPING, SLOWLY, IS KITCHEN TYPE OLD FASHIONED CORNSTARCH...WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, WHAT IS A REAL CURE? THIS IS THE WORSE IN ALL THESE YEARS, BUT I DO GET A RASH USUALLY ONLY OVER THE OPENING(1 ) ON EACH OPENING, NEVER ALL THE WAY FROM HIP TO HIP. DOESN T SPREAD ANY WHERE ELSE. I AM ALLERGIC TO WOOL, MAYBE A BLANKET? PLEASE HELP...I WENT ON MOMS,COM AND THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING, ALLT HE WOMEN WHO HAD C-SECTIONS..THEY ARE ALL GOING INSANE WITH RASH ON THE INCISION...IS THIS A LIFETIME NIGHTMARE FOR ME? THANK YOU..THERESA
