My question is in the past week I had a little itching in navel area. Notice a clear liquid that has an odor. Now the area is red and actually looks bruised and cracked. What is this?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. It is likely to be infection. But there is need for the confirmation. You can do Grams staining from nearby laboratory. If the report states some bacteria than there is need to take the antibiotics accordingly.Sometimes there may be reactionary excretion. In that case local hygiene maintenance will suffice for cure. You can apply Betadine ointment after proper cleaning. Application of the polypoid ointment can also help. Maintenance of the good hygiene, and Chat Doctor. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
