Wyneta
I had surgery of Feburary 1, 2016. During the first week i noticed my belly button had heavy narcotic tissue on it. The doctor order a cream to help with healing and at 2 weeks the narcotic tissue fell off in the dressing. Since then i have noticed my belly button nothhealing and a yellow and pink color inside it. There is yellow drainage on the dressing when i remove them 1x a day. I clean it with alcohol and continue to use the Fitoestimulina cream on the belly button. Should i be worried?
