Incision leaking?

Sooooo...I got the Single-Incision, Umbilical Laparoscopic sleeve surgery instead of the traditional. My incision was closed and healed, etc but I think the fat around my belly button causes the skin to rub and has caused like a sore. It is not infected; no pus or anything just a clear liquid. its not alot but still. I went to the dr and she just said to clean it daily until it heals and to use peroxide.

Anybody have any idea as to what this clear drainage is?

    Thanks Pretty. Its just been leaking since May 3. And when I say leaking I mean like I will wake up with dry, cruddys in my bb. Not leaking down my belly or anything. We'll see what happens. Thanks
