What Causes Pus Filled Lump On The Navel Region?

Hi, I noticed that my belly button had a clot of puss and some blood inside it this morning, but once i cleaned it, it never appeared again. It does not pain at all either. So I'm curious what might have caused that, and if I should be doing something about it

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems like there was infection in the belly button area leading to abscess formation and the pus is formed secondary to infection..
As the area of the belly button may left uncleaned and non attended while bathing and there can be accumulation of bacteria and moisture in that area that can lead to infection..
As the infection is resolved you need not to worry about it..
In case if it ever happens again you can clean it will antiseptic solution, drain out pus and apply triple antibiotic ointment over it..
Keep the area dry and clean to prevent infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
