Suggest Treatment For Infection In Belly Button

I ve had a medium sized mole inside my belly for as long as I could remember. Today I noticed that it looks like it was sliced in half! The area is bleeding (lightly) and also has smelly clear discharge out of no where! I showered, cleaned and dried the area thouroughly but it just continues to leak! Can you tell me what can be causing this? I need your help!

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

There could have been infection in the belly button area. I would suggest you following things:
> Always try to keep it clean.
> Use spirit to clean the infected area twice a day.
> Then apply polyfax plus ointment over it
> Wash hands before & after applying medicine.
> Take acetaminophen for pain(if occurs).

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
