Itchy incision and lump below?!?

numberonemama

My incision has been very itchy the past couple days and tonight I actually looked at it and its a little red and there is a lump the size of a pea right belownthe incision and its itchy too...any idea what this is? I had cellulitis a week out and just in the last month I've had mastitis twice so I'm finishing up twenty days of keflex tomorrow.

itching is your nerve endings coming back.  Itching is actually a form of pain.  So that is actually normal.  I am not sure what the lump is but part of my incision is lumpy but that is the incision itself, which happens to some people.  If you are concerned you can call your dr.

Itching happens as you heal, mine still gets itchy.  I mean even when I get a simple cut it gets a little itchy as it heals

Itching means you are healing.....the lump may be the last internal suture your doc tied. I had that and it is where my OB finished and put a big knot. It has gone down so dont worry. If there is pain then I would call your OB. Cellulitis has a bad rep for reaccuring, I know that from being in healthcare. You may just want to call and give them a heads up just in case. GL!

I agree, the lump is probably the last part of it healing. Although it could be scar tissue (I had a lot after my first c-section that they cleared out when I had my second child).
