Why Is The Bump In My Belly Button Full Of Puss?
I took my belly button ring out over a month or two ago, and it healed i didnt have any problems and i put soap and styff over it, today i was taking a bath and i noticed a bump, i picked at it, and puss came out i was wondering if it is infected or is it normal?

Hi,
It seems that due to applying belly button ring there might spread of infection deep into belly button producing pus.
Consult your doctor and clean the inside wound properly and apply antibiotic cream.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
