Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I had gone through your history and understand your concern.
As the pus is coming from the sutured area it should be evaluated for the cause.
Because you have undergone C section 7 months back by this time the wound should have been healed.
As you are having pus at the site of incision, I may advice some ointment to keep that area clean and sterile.
I would suggest you to take a opinion of your Gynecologist,you may require through physical examination and some lab investigation to identify the cause of infection.
Thank you.
