What Causes Puss Discharge From Belly Button?
I am 23 year olf female. Last month I was diagnosed with cellulitis of the stomach. I took antibiotics for 10 days. Yesterday my belly button started oozing pus again and I have a fever and pain above my belly button. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow but wonder if I should go to an emergency room tonight.
