Infection in stitches post delivery

2020-03-27 11:09:19
Hello doctor I have delivered my baby last week with a normal delivery procedure however I got a deep cut on my perineum. Two days ago I felt like my stitches are broken and I got infection over there, as it's not possible to go hospital right now I choose to clean wound at home with betadine solution. I wanted ask is it safe to apply dusting powder on my wound??? Kindly give me some appropriate suggestion for quick healing I will be thankful to you.
