Asked By:moemoe00 in Jamaica, JM

I am 3 weeks post op and my bellybutton is still not healing well. I am cleaning twice daily with 3% hydrogen peroxide. i see a clear like suture across the opening and wondering if i should clip it as it is hooking to the cottom swab when i try to clean inside the belly button . There is also another peeking out at the top which was under the scabs. should I just give it more time to heal?It was real scabby and the scabs fell off leaving the pink areas your seeing on the photo.
