I have redness around my belly button incision. does it mean i have an infection? i had a laparoscopic sterilization wednesday. it's still painful.

Redness belly button: Redness in the area of an incision is normal. THis can be due to stitches which are in the skin. If there is swelling and increased pain then one may think infection.
