Asked By:sadbunnyrabbit in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I had my tummy tuck done 3 weeks ago and immidiately since then I had a large red/purple area beneath my belly button by incision. Most of the area is healing pretty good but some smaller black areas are constantly weeping and have yellow icky stuff all around. My Ps said its just gonna take more time to heal. Just wash with antibacterial soap once a day when you shower and put palmers cocoa butter on it??? Seems like I need more attention to this!!! What can I do!!!??? #dreamturnednightmare
