Suggest Remedy For Infection In Umbilical Hernia Mesh After Surgery?

I had umbilical hernia mesh surgery on feb 6. Since then it got infected and I had to have catheter inserted to drain fluid into a bag. Also put on antibiotics. Since then, the area around my belly button is hard as a rock and getting bigger and I am itching like crazy. Can I be allergic to the mesh?
