I have been having some pain located in my navel area for about a week now. I noticed it because certain things I do it hurts. Before bed I felt it again so I decided to see exactly where it was the pain was coming from. I located it inside my belly button of to the side of the wall of it. But as I took my finger out I saw gunk in my nail and it smelled like feces! It didn t look dried up either, it actually had a moist look to it. Look somewhere between pus and feces. I cannot feel a lump but it does hurt really bad when you push straight down to my belly button. It s very tender. Can you please help give me an idea what it could be??
Hi, It can be due to a condition knows as ompahalitis, and we have to rule out certain other conditions like umbilical sinus also. As of now consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound. You can empirically start on short course of antibiotics for five days to seven days. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
