10 days post belly button issues (Photo)

December 23, 2017
Asked By:aimeeo6 in Redding, CA

This piece of material has been stuck to my belly button area since my surgery Dec 13 (10 days post) At my last appt, the nurse gently tried to remove with no success so she said I could just work it off in the shower. It hurts to try to pull on it at all. I dont know if it is sewn in there or stuck but it is becoming red and possibly like the beginnings of an infection. I have an appointment on Wednesday but would appreciate some opinions on what may be going on here. Thank you!
