Belly button isn't healing

2020-10-20 05:40:31
Attached is the image of my baby’s belly button. She’s 1 month old now. The stump got separated within 6 days from the DOB. Normally, the belly button gets healed completely within 10 days; however, it doesn’t seem like that by seeing the condition it after a month. Could you advise, please? Thanks in advance for your advice and valuable time!

This looks like umbilical granuloma. Apply salt over the area and with a gauze piece and microphone tape the area for 8 to 10 hours. Then wash the area with warm water and do the same procedure for at least 3 - 4 days.

Repeat again after 4-5 days , if swelling persists.
