Question Title: belly button painForum: Neurology Forum
| |
It was very weird. Yesterday I suddenly noticed something wrong with my belly button. It is very very hard. When I touched it, it feeled painful, otherwise I feel nothing. Could it be cancer? I was scared and angry. Can you help me?
Dear XB: Your acute belly-button tenderness is very unlikely to be cancer, and is almost certainly NOT a neurological problem. Most likely it is local infection or concretions. You may visit your primary MD, or an ER/urgent care center if symptoms are severe, persistent, or getting worse. Good luck, and take care!
