Hello and welcome to the HealthcareMagic!
Kindly mention size of swelling over stomach area.
It might be abscess if pus is coming out.
If it is not abscess then cold abscess or other forms of subcutaneous infection should be ruled out.
Kindly post photo of the swelling for further evaluation.
If needed, dressing can be done by doctor after doing incision and drainage.
Consult your surgeon for examination and discuss your case.
Hope this helps you.
