Question : Im bleeding from my bellyy button no piercing what can ii do

Answered by Dr. Chobufo Ditah (-3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
How long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

We need to understand more about this before making definitive recommendations.

1. For how long has this been going on?
2. How much blood? Is it just a stain or much and actively flowing?
3. Are you in pain?
4. Have you ever experienced this in the past?

As of now, I will recommend that you apply pressure to the bleeding area if blood is actively oozing out at this time and apply a band aid to arrest this.

I await your responses and would provide more answers as soon as i hear back from you.
