How Can An Infected Surgical Wound Around The Navel Be Treated?

I had robotic hernia repair surgery on 2/16/2017. Glue was used to close the incisions. The glue is still crusty around the abdominal incisions and they itch. My belly button incision also itches but is now occasionally oozing a clear thick liquid. To stop the itching I just put on a steroidal cream I received for another rash I recently had on my leg. I m a little concerned.

Hi, I think you should consult your doctor. You may have got some skin and subcutaneous tissue infections. You may need some antibiotics also.
