What Causes Pain In The Belly Button?
Hi, I was watching tv and noticed some pain in my belly button. I thought it might have been from an old closed piercing. I touched it and it released a foul smell. I went into the bathroom to look closer at it, it wasn't coming from the piercing instead from the actual belly button hole. There was also bleeding although not a lot. Now the pain is considerably worse and its only a couple of hours later.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having infection in belly button giving this problem.
Due to perspiration and dust collected in belly button might give rise infection.
There is another possibility of having grannuloma.
You might require one course of antibiotic for 3-5 days.
Clean the part with cotton buds and apply antibiotic cream.
Afterwards make a habit of cleaning of belly button while taking shower.
Ok and take care.
