My bellybutton is healing more narrow as opposed to round and oval can a scar revision be done once healed? Is it safe to use bacitracin and cover the bellybutton with a Band-Aid during this phase? There is yellow crust inside of it. Will the rippled skin along my incision smooth out over time it has improved some however I'm still not happy with the look of the stretch marks getting caught within the incision line. Will the swelling in the pubic area subside ?? Thanks!

Dear Patient: thanks for your question and I'm so sorry you're experiencing such bad pain levels. I would contact my Board Certified Plastic Surgeon right away to rule any cause of infection in the drain site. Hope this helps!
Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend you to follow only your doctors instructions, it is very delicate to use different substance on your incision.
Good
luck :)
Hello,Dry skin is common when tissue is inflamed and stretched. My patients can use whatever lotions they choose however I do advise they take care to avoid applying it near the steri strips/incision which could loosen them. Ask your plastic surgeon what they recommend for you. All the best
