I have excessive skin flap where I had a c-section.This area is always with a rash, bleeds and has been infected. Advice?(photo)

Topical treatments with anti fungal medications and powders will help, but the rashes and skin breakdown tend to recur. Skin removal procedures to lessen the overhang will eliminate your problem. The best method from a cosmetic standpoint would be to have a tummy tuck. This would remove all of the excess skin on your abdomen and tighten the muscles to make your tummy flatter. If that is not feasible for you, a skin excision of the affected area will at least improve your issue with the rash area.

You have skin rubbing on itself, this is causing irritation. The medical term is intrigenitis, which is skin irritation. You will want to keep this area dry, using baby powder or other products to wick away moisture should help.

Hello and thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues in this area. The short term and simplest solution is keeping that area as clean and dry as possible. Seeing a dermatologist or your primary care for any antifungal treatment needed would also be helpful. If you are seeking a surgical solution, I would consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Depending on your examination and consultation, they may recommend skin removal surgery (either insurance or cosmetic). They can discuss the risks and benefits of both surgical and nonsurgical options for you to help you make a decision that fits your needs. Best of luck to you!
