Infected belly button 2.5 weeks out from TT/hysterectomy. Blisters and oozing (Photo)

January 2, 2016
Asked By:W8warrior in Houston, TX

I had a tummy tuck and hysterectomy on Dec 16th. Everything went great until I picked up my 30 pound grandson 1 week ago. Since then, my bellybutton looks worse every day. I hate to bug my surgeon again. (I called after the grandson incident due to severe muscle spasms). Now it looks like there are blisters all around it and it oozes. There is no smell. I've cleaned with Epsom salt wash and kept it covered. I did put manuka honey in it a few days but it seems worse instead of better.
