2 weeks post op of Tummy Tuck, Is my belly button infected? (photo)

January 20, 2014
Asked By:Bigbabiestoblame in Albany, NY

TT almost two weeks ago. Is my bb infected or just going through stages of healing? It appears more red. I have been cleaning it daily and applying Bacitracin ointment to it. Have a scheduled appointment this Friday to check incision but figured I'd pose the question here.
