I have a sack-like growth near my belly button on the right side, about the size of a jackfruit seed. My family doctor said it's not serious and can be removed with a simple surgery. Should I see a dermatologist or a general surgeon for this?

I had open fistula surgery two days ago but there's still pus and blood draining from the area nonstop is this normal or could there be a problem

It's best to consult your surgeon for evaluation and guidance
