Rash on stomach after Tummy Tuck. Any suggestions?

Question

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair 5 weeks ago and i had a dressing on my belly button for a few weeks. I was very red after taking it off and it doesnt seem to be going away? They are dark red little spots but in the shape of the dressing so i know thats where its from? Is there any cream i can put on it to make it go away?

Thank you for your question. In order to best answer your question, I would recommend seeing your plastic surgeon. An in-person assessment is always best. Regards,

Thank you for the question.  It is hard to assess your situation without any pictures and an in-person examination.  Best if you can visit your board-certified plastic surgeon and get a full evaluation.  Best of luck, Dr. Michael Omidi.
