My navel became sore and a little red. Then I found some fluid leaking out with a foul smell. Should I just usw somw salt water solution and clean it and see if gets better? I have never had this happen before. I have been swimming in the ocean last week and in a pool. Could this cause it?

Hi there,I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Swimmer's Itch is usually common after swimming in lakes/oceans/swimming in contaminated water.Nothing to worry.
Kindly consult a Dermatologist at the earliest who can confirm the diagnosis.The treatment is usualy Topical Steroids/Antihistamines /clean the area with antiseptic solutions and Avoid swimming for few day and keep the area dry & clean
