Follow-up Question: Can my compression garment cause irritation of my belly button?

Asked By:Eiriena in New York, New York

I am one month post op, I have been wearing my compression garment as directed and today after a shower I noticed my belly button was red and a little painful. My insicion site is clear, it doesn't look infected, but it's red and bumpy. Could this just be irritation/chaifing?
