What Causes Bleeding In The Navel?

Hi, I have been bleeding from my belly button a little, I wanted to know if this is something to worry about. It’s not excessive bleeding. It’s just a little and it usually dries up in the belly button. There is a bit of a foul smell. So I constantly have to clean it and keep it dry.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Kindly get it examined by a surgeon. Do start applying Neosporin dusting powder on it which will prevent further infection to appear.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
