What to do about red raw wounds in belly button?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Umbilical wound: If you have had surgery, hernia repair, laprascope, at your umbilicus, then call and check in with your surgeon. If this is a spontaneous wound, okay to clean the area, soap and water, avoid oil based antibiotic ointments. If not better in a day or two, get checked by your regular doc. There are several other potential diagnoses.
