I am 3 week post op and my belly button looked great the first week but then it started to leak small amount of yellow and it seems to not want to heal. Per my surgeons orders I can let it dry out. So I am in the process of doing so. He also recommended washing with hibiclens soap 2x daily and applying rubbing alcohol 4x daily. He assurd me that its still healing. i also still have stitches in as well. Just looking for a second opinion. I really need reassurance
