Dealing with a healing ridge... loaded a pic of it - Salisbury, NC

Anyone out there have a "healing ridge"? It scared me Tues night when I saw this hard long bump under my skin that felt a little tender to touch. The doctor is not concerned with it. I massaged it and the next morning it was gone. I looked last night and this morning it is there again! Recovery makes you go crazy that is for sure! Can't wait to see the final results

Last night the glue in my belly button was hanging in there so I pulled it out. Belly button looks pretty good. I started using Maderma at $16.50 a tube. Not sure if its worth it, but I will try a tube and see. My scar is not looking too pretty. I have some ripples and it looks alot thicker than I had hoped plus it is not hidden by my underwear. But I do look fantastic in clothes! I am not completely flat, hopefully this is swelling and not the end result. I, like you, am worried about not being able to work out and getting fat. I guess it is all normal to have these lows and highs. Wednesday Dec. 5th I will be at my one month mark.

So I took my steri strips off...relatively easy. I had to use my nail to get the dead blood off (i know sounds gross) didn't hurt cause I can't feel a thing! The scar is not pretty at all. I was hoping for a thin line, but it looks a little thick. I started putting gold bond with aloe on it to help with the itch. The doctor was happy with the results. I am too. I look terrific in clothes! I have been wearing all the tight shirts I haven't been able to wear. I still get a tight feeling throughout the day and am not walking upright 100%, but I really can't complain! I am happy I did it! I will get some new pics up soon. Hope you all are well!
