Will my belly button ever heal? (Photo)

Asked By:kimpossible41 in Atlantic City, NJ

I am 12 days post op and I am getting worried that my belly button will have necrosis. I know- follow my PS's instructions... which I am, but now I am home in PA and he is in Miami FL. I was advised to wash with soap and water, use iodine and the hydrofera ready foam- wet the foam roll up and cover, but it just doesn't look like it is getting me anywhere. Please advise if you can. I did put ointment on it, but I think I'm done with that
