Pain In Belly Button, Brownish Red Stuff Coming Out And Warm Sensation. What Could This Be?
I have had belly button pain for 5 days now, it started Monday and wasn t much a problem, i cleaned it and went on with my week, well today I have a harder time getting around and eating, I had dinner at 7 and by 830 i was pooping out little pebbles, then i felt a warm sensation in my belly button with a sharp pain with it. i looked at it and it had brownish red stuff coming out, i cleaned it again( i have cleaned it twice a day all this week) I hope it just needs some more cleaning, but my eating and pooping schedule is really off! thanks for you time!

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
It could be bacterial infection of the skin over the belly button. Clean the area with saline ( warm salt water) twice a day. Apply an antibiotic ointment like neosporin twice a day. A course of antibiotic tablets will help clear the infection faster for which you need a doctor's consultation and prescription.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
