navel problem

Since few days I observed blood coming out from my navel, but it is getting clotted. A pungent smell is coming out of it. This is the first time I'm having this. I bath twice daily and cleaning my navel daily. But still some kind of clotted blood and other stuff is formed in the navel. I'm worried to see the blood in my navel. Is that a serious problem?

Hi.
Frequent manipulation of the navel could result in irritation and breaks in the skin, which makes it prone to secondary infection.
I would suggest to have yourself seen by a dermatologist.
Good luck.

Thank you. I would visit a dermatologist soon. I hope this wouldn't be a serious problem.
