Hi, my friend has discovered hard red lumps on her vagina and in her groin after a planned c section. What can this be?  Initially hospital thought it cysts, then abscesses now they are puzzled. Test show it is not an infection. She is so worried. Please advise.
Hi. Ideally the surgery may not be related to this type of lumps. It is possible to have reaction to the local applications of iodine or so. If you say there are red lumps on vagina as well as the groin-there is still a chance that these are infection only-the lumps in groin are usually lymph nodes and always come as a secondary infection to the infecting focus in the Chat Doctor. If the Doctors are baffled, request them to a second opinion of a Dermatologist to rule out rare skin lesions.
