What Causes Pinkish Discharge And Soreness In Belly Button?
I need help... For a week now, my belly button has been hurting really bad. I decided to clean it with peroxide and Q-tips yesterday and I felt a small lump on the top wall of my belly button and started looking it up online. Today I wanted to look at it again and there was a pinkish discharge coming from it. I m really worried. Can someone please help me figure out what this could be.? I know I need to go see a doctor to be sure... But I just want an idea of what s going on with my belly button.?!?!?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having bacterial infection in belly button due to not proper cleaning inside belly button due to its curvature.
Go for one course of oral antibiotic for 3-5 days.
Clean the local part with anti septic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
If it is not cured then there might be possibility of having grannuloma.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care
