Itchy Navel with Fluid caused by Infection Posted: 06-19-06 21:03pm
I have itching around outer region of
navel, and I have s little fluid with a
order to it. This has been occurring for
the last 3 days. What could this be?
It seems likely that itching around the
navel and fluid is probably the result of
inflammation(omphalitis) caused by an
infection. You can visit a doctor who can
treat the infection with a local balsam
containing antibiotics and corticosteroid.
