urbandecayno5 40 Posted May 14, 2012 The incision in/at the rim of my belly button is hard and swollen/red. Im not fully sure if its from me sleeping on my stomach, something I wore, or something I did. Nothing is oozing or crusty its just tender, red, and swollen. Im almost 4 weeks out and im freaking out. Does anyone else get this? Im worried its infected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swimmer 199 Posted May 14, 2012 That is the one that got infected for me, it split open at the hospital too. Have your dr look at it you might need antibiotics. Best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
