18 yr old son had appendectomy and has been healing just fine. About a month later his belly button scar is a bit red and has something that seems to be protruding out of it. It was the 3 incision type surgery. very small scarsHe says it is sensitive
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... Here your scar is red and somewhat protruded.... Suggestive inflamed scar, or it could be hypertrophic scar.... Take broken for 5 days... It might help.... If not improving then hypertrophic scar looked for.... For that cryotherapy, intercessional steroid, vitamin A retinoid are some good therapy. If needed the latest therapy can be tried like vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, laser therapy etc.... Consult surgeon with keeping this in mind... Take care. Chat Doctor.
