A member asked:
I had a laparoscopy and a month later my belly button is weeping, red, sore and has a small circle hole in it?

Lap scar: hello ~ it sounds as if the entry port made for the laparoscopy is mildly infected. The question is whether this needs to be treated with an oral antibiotic or not. To make this decision you will need to see your reg doc and he will advise if this can be treated locally or parenterally. thanks
