Hello sis I will advise u not to go near hot water....at all Had same problem after delivery, used hot water for two days and d stitches almost melted away... Take the augumentine Try to do zit bath like four times in a day Find a clean large bowl put water, enough salt inside and disinfectant...then sit inside comfortably for like 20minutes. If u can't do four times do two, but, always go to the bathroom to wash the area with salt n disinfectant inside water has many times as possible in a day,if u wish u can apply Ori(shear butter) after u clean the area gently. That was my remedy, after many consultations and antibiotics.. within a week it was a dramatic change.
