Hello,  i’ll be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow. I had bilateral laposcopic hysterectomy. My surgical tapes are almost all off. The incisions look good except for my belly button. I have an inny belly button and have a small belly. My belly button is a little sore. It looks like it has dry blood. I’m not sure if there are stitches there too so I don’t want to get a Qtip with rubbing alcohol and try clearing it. Do I just wait and see if it clears itself? I have a post-op appointment on June 11.

    Yes just wait and see, but I suggest expose your belly button to air to dry, lots of protein diet ad vit C. Good luck x
