How To Cure Scar On The Belly Button With Lumps Inside?
Hi I had colon surgery back in April. They went in though my belly button they called it ( hand assist ) they removed half a foot of my colon. I know have a scar on my belly button but now have these two lumps inside my belly button. You can feel them though my shirt. Is this something I need to be worried about or is this some kind f scar tissue?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, scar could be turn into formation of keloid tissue and that is the only matter of concern and to get this confirm you will have to go for clinical examination, some time it may be just nonspecific type of swelling discomfort and irritation, pain, can be ruled out for foreign body or infection I would suggest to get this confirm, hope this information helps.
