ok this is a weird question and definitely not my usual lane here, but it’s driving me a little nuts. i had my c-section about 8 weeks ago and healing has been fine, i think. incision is closed, looks clean, no redness or weeping or any of the big scary signs my OB told me to watch for. but i’m obsessed with the smell.

kinda warm and maybe a little metallic but that could be my imagination. my logical brain knows it’s probably just normal healing skin and sweat in a fold of skin that doesn’t get a lot of air. but my anxiety brain is convinced it’s
