Umbilical drainage: This may be an infection, and although it sounds like it, this cannot be diagnosed without being seen. Let your doctor look at this and advise. Good luck.

I had a lap 4weeks ago almost and today my belly button smells awful and behind where it's still closed it's oozing pus. I noticed glue was still in I picked some off and it looked better but since it's deep could this be more than incision infection?
