deff check on the hole. sounds like you might have a stitch the was not absorbed that needs to be taken out and the area aspirated (fluid drawn out by a needle). I had/have many stitched that were not accepted. Once the cause for the internal irritation is resolved the hole may need to be packed with saline moistened gauze until the tissue growns in again. Jusr becareful and don't wait too long especially if the hole is getting bigger or deeper

give it time- i'm sure that is not what you want to hear but things do change during the healing. Hopefully the scar will fade and the belly button will look more normal. There is a lot of swelling everywhere. It's very traumatic to the entire abdomen.
