Suggest Treatment For Pain And Itchiness In The Belly Button
I had been having irritation, pain & itchiness coming from my belly button for a few days. It was really irritating me today. So I sat down to get a better look. And I pulled out a brown sticky goo that looked and smelled like feces. What can this mean!?!?!?

Hello,
Firstly you need to clean the belly button with copious amount of water and soap. After cleaning the belly button you need to observe if any discharge is still coming out.
If discharge persists, then you need to consult your surgeon for clinical assessment. Fistula and sinus can exist in the belly button.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
