Umbilical Sinus

2023-09-24 06:50:04
Hi I was experiencing foul smell from my belly button. I met a doctor and he suggested for USG where it was diagnosed with Umbilical Sinus. The doctor prescribed me with Ciplox TZ for 5 days and asked to clean with Dettol. I have taken doses for 2 days now but the smell is persistent and it's not going away. I don't feel any pain but if pressed it pains only a little bit while it is pressed. I can see some redness around belly button area from outside. Please suggest what to do for getting away with foul smell.

It will need surgical exploration. The whole track of the sinus will be defined and excised. Please consult with a General Surgeon in your area for further management.
