How Can An Umbilicus Lump With Pus And Itching Be Treated?
Hi, my belly button is pierced and I recently grew this bump on it that looked like it was puss filled and goey on the bottom hole inside my belly button. I did a salt water cleanse and it s going away but inside my belly button I have a red rash thing the shape of a ring. It itches and it s been there for 3 days. Help please!

Hi,
It seems that you got infection in your belly button due to piercing.
go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
