Red Swollen Incision

[urbandecayno5 40]

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

I would definitely call your surgeon's office to find out for sure.

Is it warm to the touch? I would recommend calling your doc.

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.
