My husbands belly button is swollen and hurts at the touch. He hasn t ever had this before and we are not sure how serious this is. I have told him to keep and eye on it and let me know if there are any changes but I am scared that this could be something serious.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Msm I can understand your concern but he needs examination to know what he really have. Does he have any umbilical hernia or it is just start of appendicular pain or something we done know. It gives us clue. If examination can't be done at least ultrasound abdomen would help us rule out serious issue. Kindly get an ultrasound and also a picture of the painful site would help us treat further. Put moisturizing lotion to the belly button. Clean it with cotton often and maintain hygiene. Get back to us with reports.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
