If it was really red and pussy (sorry if TMI) then I would think it was an infection but its not bright red. If really like when you have sunburn and someone slaps it....but all the time.
I went to the Chemist this morning to get some betadine to see if that helps and the pharmacist said dont put betadine on it use this and gave me some first aid cream 
I dont think it needs cream I think it needs to be dried out and my mum said the same thing. I have been using the cream all day and it has given me no relief.
Has anyone else had an experience like this? I go to Malaysia for work on Saturday for a week and I cant get to see my specialist before then. The last thing I want is this getting worse while I am in a strange country.
Thanks is advance for you help  |

Hi Amy-Jellybean
I had my lap over a year ago and no I didnt experience the symptoms you have mentioned. The area was a little tender but i dont remember their being any pus ect. My advice would be to go to your local GP and see if they will give you some antibiotics and that way you will be covered when you go to Malaysia.
My symptons I had from my lap/hysteroscopy
1) Tenderness in the belly button area but only when standing and sitting ect - lasted only a couple of days.
2) The shoulder tip pain was the most intense on the pain..
DH had to constantly massage my shoulder pain which is caused by left over gas used to inflate your tummy during the procedure.
Other than those things, I recovered well and was back at work (office job) within two days. I know its not the same for all people and you will find people with varying experiences.
One more bit fo great news - I got a BFP (after 2.5 years of trying) on month 2 after my lap ( we only did the deed once during the cruicial time bc I had just given up hope).
Lots of baby dust to you all and heres hoping for many BFP's..
