Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Belly Button

Hi, I recently had surgery that involved opening up my Belly Button and now about 6 months later I have a scar there. It has been really hot the last couple of days and I looked in a mirror today and saw this Cylender Like red bumb (that is not big at all) inside my bellybutton. I can not tell if it is sitting just on my belly button but when I move my bellybutton around it appears to be leading into my bellybutton Like Into my stomach through my belly button. I have no idea what caused this or what it is. Should I be alarmed?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

There could be two possibilities in your case. First, bacterial infection of the belly button area. Second, incisional hernia. For first case, clean the area with spirit and apply polyfax plus ointment thrice a day for a week. For second, you need to visit hospital where doctors will confirm it by examining it.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
