I had a BBL / lipo 360 seven weeks ago. I noticed a few days after my shower that my navel looks kinda raw on the inside. I opened it and there is a nasty looking bump. There is very little pain and very little drainage. It does itch around the area. I do not have a fever or any other symptoms. I have been using neosporin for weeks. Should I be concerned?I sent pictures to my surgeons post op department and they stated it looked normal and to keep it clean and keep applying neosporin.
