How To Get Rid Of Scar And Its Pain Left After Laparoscopic Surgery?

Since December I ve had pus coming out from the inside of my belly button. About four years ago I had a laparoscopic surgery and they went threw my belly button... everything healed fine. I had a baby in Sept and this started happening in December. I went to the doctor he did an ultrasound in April and said it was all good. Its now July and I am noticing the scar that I had previously from my surgery is almost gone, it is completely red and I can feel a crease like it never healed. It is also starting to hurt where the scar is. My doctor is no longer doing anything. Should I push for an answer or is this something that will go away on its own?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of the scar, my treatment advice is –

1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a placentrex gel daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin E supplement daily.

If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
