Hi girls,

Wondering if you can help me? I had m lap done a week ago today and for a few days my tummy has been hurting. I have a hard lump underneath where the incision in my belly button is and the area is a little bit red. If it was really red and pussy (sorry if TMI) then I would think it was an infection but its not bright red. If really like when you have sunburn and someone slaps it....but all the time.

I went to the Chemist this morning to get some betadine to see if that helps and the pharmacist said dont put betadine on it use this and gave me some first aid cream
I dont think it needs cream I think it needs to be dried out and my mum said the same thing. I have been using the cream all day and it has given me no relief.

Has anyone else had an experience like this? I go to Malaysia for work on Saturday for a week and I cant get to see my specialist before then. The last thing I want is this getting worse while I am in a strange country.

Thanks is advance for you help
