Is my compression garment causing necrosis of belly button? (Photo)

Lizerd2177
My cg is very tight, I would even say a bit painful at times. I am supposed to leave it on but over the past few days (I am about 14 days post-op tt) I've had to loosen it at times just to sit or lie down comfortably. My belly button is oozing a little but a small part almost looks dark-colored like a Bruise. Can my garment be causing this? Can I do anything to prevent it at this point?
