    Mine started to feel a bit sensitive/itchy after a couple of weeks. Turns out the skin was just healing up.
    One thing I found helpful was to have a spray bottle of water for when I went to the toilet - I would spray the stitched area then just pat it dry, so it didn't get irritated by wiping. Hope you are feeling much better soon.

    If you have to sit for awhile, say for BFing, then try this.....

    Roll up two not-too-big-towels, and sit on them with them running lengthwise under your thighs. It's like sitting on a cloud LOL!

    Thanks for all the helpful advice
    Im pretty sure its not infected coz it only hurts to sit, I had antibiotics up until 4 days ago to prevent infection. I think its just healing
