What Causes Blood Discharge From Navel With Odour?
My healthy 28 yo son has had smelly discharge from his navel for a while. I told him to keep his fingers out of it, and he did, but now it's bleeding. The blood looks "cloudy" or purulent. There's no obvious odor or redness around the site. He denies pain. What could be the cause?
