Hi,

Pus in the umbilicus is caused by a bacterial infection. A navel infection can produce pus as well as a clear discharge, bleeding, redness, and inflammation. There is also foul odour from pus in the umbilicus which can be treated by a course of antibiotics and pain killers. It is usual for an infection that produces pus in the umbilicus to cause extreme pain and tenderness in the area. Please consult your doctor for antibiotics and pain killers. Do not try to clean wax in umbilicus with a sharp object or fingers. Please use a cotton ear bud.
