A sore belly button post op???

Just before I got into the bath I noticed my belly button looks rather sore and tbh it stung a little when I got into the bath ( the bath wasnt over hot either), the best way I can describe it is that it looks like a burn ( but needless to say I havent burnt it)....The mind boggles lol ( Have added pic a little further down ) Hope thats ok

Ooh that's strange, I haven't had a sore belly button, keep an eye on it and hopefully it won't get any worse,

Looks like it could be thrush to me. I have had thrush there before (I am diabetic so prone to it.) I get huge red sore patches with a slight smell. (Sorry TMI).

You can try some canesten - over the counter - which will help if it's a fungal infection.

Yes, it looks like an infection, but prob not thrush. You need to see a GP for a script for a cream to treat it. I get them regularly post op but never had them pre. My tummy skin above the belly button has formed a kind of hood which causes it.

On a positive note, having it medically documented would increase your odds if you were looking for tt funding.

tyvm for your input x

Ditto exactly what Shel said.

Its an infection, your GP needs to prescribe something and it will help your case for plastics if it is needed further down the line. x

Sam, I think you should talk to Pierce about installing a 'what shel said' button, it would make life easier for so many of my followers, umm I mean forum members.

Then, I think we should issue everyone a 'WWSD?' bracelet, so whenever they are struggling they can look at it at think, what would shel do? I think it would resolve so many problems for the masses.

After that, we need to look into setting up some kind of special section, call it a shrine if you will, so those whom my wisdom and kindness has touched can come pay tribute.

Finally, if you could set up a freepost address for grateful members (and the wider public) could send donations of cake and dairy milk then we may just have the key to success.

I second that Shel

I hope you get it sorted Julie, I've noticed a smell coming from mine recently (niiiice!), may give the caneston a go xx

Blue Diamond, This looks very similar to something I get now and again, although I also got it before my bypass. Mines seems to have started after I had some exploratory keyhole surgery done through my navel several years ago. A bit of germolene always clears it up in a day or so.
