What Does Yellow Discharge From The Navel Suggest?

my daughter just showed me her naval, it is red inside and looks sore. She said that sometimes there is damp yellow stuff in there and that it stinks. Any ideas? Does she just need to wash it well or should I make an appointment with the Dr. She is 16

Hello

She may have an infection so she should see a doctor. After that she needs to keep the navel clean and dry.

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

Take care
