Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my navel is red, swollen, and has a bad odor, with slight itching and pain. There is yellow pus-like discharge inside. The doctor said I have navel inflammation. What causes navel inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Umbilical cord inflammation is the warmth and moisture of the umbilical cord. Many bacteria multiply inside it. When the internal environment is suitable for bacterial growth, such as a "dirty and messy" environment, or minor internal skin damage during bathing, it can cause a more severe inflammatory response. Treatment is not difficult; you can use 75% alcohol to wipe it twice a day, in the morning and evening. Usually, it can heal in a few times. If the inflammation is severe, it can be treated with oral medication combined with alcohol, which can be cured quickly.
