I asked my Doctor and the answer is yesIs it safe to put antibiotic ointment or cream on an episiotomy incision that looks %26amp; feels infected?
I agree, you need medical treatment for that - probably antibiotics.





EDIT: In the meantime, salt baths are recommended to reduce infection. A hassle, I know, but it helps. Good luck!
No You need to go back to the doctor thats not something to fix at home by yourself.
