What Could Be The Reason For Experiencing Pain Around My Belly Button?
Hi i have been experiencing pain around my belly button for a couple days and now there were obvious amounts of bad smelling brown liquid from there. When I was wiping it up I saw what appeared to be a bunch of dead skin coming from the center of it. What is this and am I okay?
HI. This is an umbilical granuloma. You may need a small curratage and cleaning to be done by a surgeon and the condition will be healed. There is a small chance of a fistula which your surgeon will think about.
