What Causes Skin Around Naval Is Red?
I am a 60 year old woman. For the past 2 days, I noticed that the skin around my naval is red. No pain, but aslight discharge and a slight odor. Could this be caused by a change in my medication? I take generic Vesacare which was recently revised from 2 mg 2x a day to 4mg once a day.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and it could be a mild infection. I would recommend you to take tablet Cephalexin twice daily for 5 days and apply Neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily for 5-7 days. This should help in resolving your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
