Pus / fluid from belly button

Anyone have this happen long after surgery or even soon after.  Im now 17 months.. yes months not days.  Last week i had little black "points" surface.. i assume stitches cause they are like the white ones that popped before only black.  They worked their way out and made some ulcers (i think)  Its leaked a clear and  sometimes ***** fluid.  It might be from the wound but seems like its coming from the inside but not sure.  Other then go to the dr which i dread so much do to my past experieces

Put your fears behind you and run back to the surgeon. It is better to be safe than sorry.
