How to care for a episiotomy wound

Patient's question:

How to care for a episiotomy wound. Teacher, I gave birth naturally at the hospital, and had an episiotomy at the time. It's been two months now. At first, everything down there was almost fine. Later, I washed down there every day, twice a day. But recently, I noticed a bit of redness and slight pain around the wound, and I'm not sure if it's inflamed? I have pictures, please take a look.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it has been more than two months since the episiotomy, and you are now experiencing some pain. From the photos, it looks like the wound is healing well, and there is nothing wrong. Moreover, it has already been two months, and at this stage, the wound has almost healed completely, and it will no longer develop inflammation at the incision site.
