Hiya it's been two weeks for me too, I went doctors on Friday for belly button as it's oozing and there is blood, she didn't prescribed me with anything, but booked me in for Tuesday to see nurse. They will decide whether I need it or not. I think I do because there is a smell and there's blood. Let's see what they say on Tuesday.

Great. Thanks hun I can't stop looking at it im a bit of a nervous wreck about getting infection. I haven't bathed just strip washed since having it and showered twice at mums. Iv just been thinking nausea and now red can't be good. Doc will sort me out tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks xx

Hey, good luck at the docs. My experience with all my laps(was long ago) that I also had redness, soarness. Once the smelly oozing. I also kept it dry, once I was allowed to bath I cleaned it with cotton woo and sterilized water. It healed itself
