Small opening of c section wound

I posted a few days ago as I was worried I had an infection for the 2nd time I am currently on antibiotics for this but have now noticed a very small opening in the other side of my incision (literally a pin sized hole) and there is some discharge. I am going to wait until I have finished the antibiotics but was just starting to notice an improvement on my original wound infection and now worried I have another. My question is should I wait to finish my antibiotics? Is it okay to have a small opening and if so what can I do to make sure it doesn't get any bigger/ heals? I have been given an antifungal cream and have been using that twice a day! Airing it after a shower and ensuring I don't scrub around the area. I also try to air it during the day and keep it dry.

I could have written this myself! I had an opening last week quite big and have been on antibiotics since Friday for it but last night I noticed another hole (pin sized!) I literally don’t know what more to do with it! It’s rather frustrating as I’m 14 weeks pp now and it seems to look like it is healed and then ends up having another hole again!!🤦🏻‍♀️

So so frustrating! And feel like the only thing that would help would be to not move at all which is not possible with a newborn!

Honestly seems to be more common than we think! I had 4 different rounds of antibiotics and none worked it was just constant infection one after the other. At almost 6 weeks pp i got admitted to hospital to be hooked up to IV antibiotics to get rid of it because it was so bad and no one would listen to me! I’m nearly 7 weeks pp now and I’m on two different lots of antibiotics and i’ve only now started seeing a difference and my wound seems to be healing. If you’re ever worried just keep pushing and keep going back. They’re there to help you so don’t feel bad for continually going back until you’re happy! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
