Inflammation in wound after Sitz Bath
I had a fistuletomy surgery 3 months back. The surgical wound has formed a scar tissue. The scar is sensitive to touch but not painful. The scar feels normal, but after a warm sitz bath, the scar becomes hard and inflamed. After a few hours or after a cold ice pack, the harness and inflamation reduce and feel normal. Is this ok? I can not avoid sitz bath as my wound is still healing.
