What should I do if my navel bleeds?

Patient's question:

Last night I picked at my belly button, and today there's a little bit of blood. How do I fix it? Can it be resolved at home?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to the description of the situation, this is due to skin damage caused by external force, leading to candidiasis. Develop good living habits and regularly clean and disinfect. It is noted that local skin damage can cause secondary infection, and it can be alleviated by cleaning with povidone-iodine. Generally, this is not a problem. Drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid facing the wind, and eat less spicy and irritating foods, as well as overly greasy foods.
