What Causes Black Headed Painful Bump On Belly Button?
Hi I had a black head in my belly button that I removed when I was pregnant. My baby is now 6weeks old and the black spot has not gone away. I ve pushed on it like a black head again and I can feel pain from my belly button to like the bottom of my uterus it feels like. Should I be worried?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A painful bump near the belly button can be infectious or inflammatory lesion.
Black colour suggests a pigmentary disorder.
However, clinical assessment is essential to know the exact nature of the lesion.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for further management.
Thanks and take care
