What Does An Infected Mole In The Belly Button Indicate?
I have a mole in my belly button that has gotten slightly larger. I didn't notice it had grown until I kind of dug in my belly button to get wetness out and smelled a foul odor. My belly button smelled horribly and I noticed my mole was bigger. I also though I felt pus, but I couldn't tell. Should I be concerned?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, the thing you are describing the mole might be an infection, may be the fungal , or bacterial, or mixed.
Now it has come to an oozing stage. I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have a culture and sensitivity of the discharge, and treatment accordingly.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
