Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a mini tummy tuck 2 weeks ago, and since then the areas directly above and below my belly button are extremely hard and red. Is this normal? There also appears to be a skin tag coming out from the center of my belly button. My PS says it is a scar from an old belly button piercing, but that does not seem likely. What is your opinion?FTI, I am a 40 yo female, 5'3" and 135 pounds, two C Sections

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic The redness and hardness are due to the body s inflammatory response to the surgery, this should decrease in time. The use of anti inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, cataflam or naproxen would help to decrease the reaction. I hope this helps
