Stitches out @ 2 weeks doctor says it looks great, prescribed acidic acid 0.25% to compact belly button 2 daily. When I take off dressing I see this white skin producing. Each time faster is this normal. I went to the doctor after seeing it for first time taking my first compact out. Doctor says it's normal/only dead skin and clipped most of it and told me it will keep happening and he will see me in 2 weeks after taking my compact out its back again! I don't understand why it's producing so fast. why this is happening? Will I have an outie?
I had a follow up with a nurse yesterday who agreed my bellybutton is infected and has me treating it by inserting balled up gauze with Polysporin inside my naval. What has me more concerned than the infection is that the tissue inside my bellybutton has partially turned completely white. Is this something to be worried about? Why the heck is this happening?
I had a tummy tuck two months ago. Most of my stretch marks were removed. I was however left with a few white vertical ones that are white and very old, faded. I am now two months post op and a few weeks ago all of a sudden red marks started appearing all over my stomach. I dont know what this is. I have forward these pics to my doctor with no response as of yet. I am very concerned. Hoping somebody can tell me what it is and what I can do about it.
I got a tummy tuck 32 days ago the drain was removed on day 13th. The scabbed closed but then a stich was coming out the doctor removed the scab. He called it detriment and then told me I didnt have an infection and that I could shower and just cover it with gauze and clean only with water and mild soap. Its been 3 days since he removed scab and did debriment... Im so scared how is this looking? Only stains a tiny bit.
Hello I had a tummy tuck in prague nearly 4 weeks ago , I came home to England after 10 days , I started to feeling more pain and redness and hot around the middle of my incision so I went to my doctors who said I had an infection and prescribed my antiboctics. I have been cleaning my wound with salted water and new dressing each day . It seems to be getting better but still leaking green stuff and I've noticed white stuff in my wound . please can you tell me if this is ok ?
It's two weeks to the day since I had my surgery. I have noticed there are white stringy clots like things in my drain tube. I've contacted my nurse (doctor is out of town for the week) and she says it's normal.... I'm just worried it's and infection and pus is draining out.
