Suggest Treatment For Deep Red Bump In The Navel
I had what appeared to be a red bump deep inside my belly button, I scratched it and now it has blistered and hurts terribly. I cleaned it good, and put some altobax inside but however it is burning terribly. What could this be and what can I put on it?

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a local infection. I recommend cleaning well and using locally an antibiotic ointment. If your situation does not improve, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
