How is umbilical granulation treated?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. How is the umbilical granulation treated?

Doctor's answer:

Normal topical medications cannot cure umbilical granules, and umbilical granules will not heal naturally. It is still recommended that you undergo surgery, as umbilical granules can be surgically removed. However, before the surgery, keep the area clean; you can use an alcohol swab to clean it daily and keep the umbilical area dry.
The child is troubled by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the disease.
