What should I do if my belly button is bleeding?

Patient's question:

Navel bleeding, saw the navel a bit dirty last night while taking a bath, poked it with my hand, and there was blood the next day. How can this be resolved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the description, this is navel inflammation caused by scratches. Pay attention to daily hygiene of the skin, avoid scratching, and use povidone-iodine for cleaning and disinfection. As you mentioned, when you take a bath, it should be as if the navel is broken. It is recommended that you use povidone-iodine for disinfection, apply erythromycin ointment externally, avoid excessive contact with water, drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid wind, and eat less spicy and irritating food, as well as overly greasy food.
