Red Swollen Incision

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.

Call him. You never want to ignore a sudden change like that.

Pls call your doc and report back to us what he / she said about it. Hugs and good thoughts to you today!

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.

I had my surgery on April 18 and one my incision is open to the size of a pin hole and is red draining a small amount white pus. Called Dr he said neosporin and cover it for now
