What Causes Navel Pain And Discharge?
My bellybutton was hurting this week nothing too terrible so i didnt bother going to the doctor but today i noticed i had some liquid on my tshirt and that my bellybutton was leaking a small amount of brownish red liquid. The pain seems to have ceased since this though. Do you know what this may be?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!
I really appreciate your concern.
The most common cause of discharge from belly button or umbilicus is an infection of the skin in that area. It is more likely to become infected because it is moist and a good environment for the growth of bacteria or fungi. You can apply topical antibacterial & antifungal creams on it.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
