What Causes Bloody Rash Around The Naval?
I have a bloody looking rash inside and around my navel. I am taking an anti-flamatory prescription, Meloxican, for arthritic knees and ankles. Could the rash be a side effect from the medication? I have been taking this medicine for one month, but the rash did not appear until this afternoon.

You seem to suffer from irritant contact dermatitis in umbilical area. Some irritant like soap may be the cause. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Avoid contact with suspected irritant. Apply mild steroid cream. Take antihistamins and antibiotic for a week.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
