Suggest Medication To Treat A Lump Inside The Belly Button

Hi, my husband has a weird black/brown looking bump inside his belly button, and we re trying to figure out what in the world it is. It looks a lot like a blackhead that s huge and coming out, but he said it kinda hurts when he messes with it. I don t think it s anything that needs to come out, but it s really odd looking. Any ideas?

Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-
belly button with ? infection of the old granuloma underneath,as it pains when moving the belly button.
The ugly look is giving worry to You.
Remedy-
Would be regular care of the belly button with cleaning and oil smearing would reduce the tender feeling in the belly button.This would reduce the ugly look from non-attndance of it and would also reduce the unwanted and disturbing tenderness or soreness of the belly button.This would also reduce the handling from repeated handling which causes its infection by repeated trauma and bruises.
Antiseptic cream
Anti-inflammatory drugs Motrin
Antibiotics if need be
Good hygiene and cleaning of the belly button
would go along way in reducing the nuisance caused from belly button.
USG /CT and / Contrast study of the belly button to rule out any other cause leading to such complaint like Vitello-intestinal patent duct / urachal cyst /etc.
