What Causes Pain And Inflammation Around The Navel?
I have had a sore belly button for a few days now. Underneath it is red and there is some pus coming out of it. It’s very tender to touch but has appeared to be getting better. I’ve been cleaning it with salt water and putting germaline on it. However today there looks like a small pink piece of skin that appears to be blocking the button of my belly button and stopping any pus coming out
