Does my belly button or drain incision look infected? (photos)

Asked By:dBodden8 in San Antonio, TX

I received a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago on Wednesday. When I took a shower last night my belly button looked infected, I called my ps. They wouldn't let me talk to him, but told me to go in in the am. Well, I can't I live over an hour away and my kids both have Dr appointments which have been scheduled for 3 months. I've attached some pictures what would you recommend I do until I'm able to go to my ps office?
