This may not be an ordinary matter like infection in the umbilicus.
Please consult a General Surgeon in your area for a physical examination.
It could be a remnant of some tissue which normally disappears as the baby is growing in the mother's womb.

you are experiencing an infection in the navel area, which can be due to a number of causes such as a superficial bacterial infection or a more deeply seated issue. The foul smell and pus are signs that medical intervention is necessary. While keeping the area clean and using antiseptics like betadine might offer temporary relief, it’s crucial to get a physical examination by a surgeon to determine the underlying cause and the best course of treatment.
In some cases, the issue may be related to remnants of embryonic tissue that did not fully resolve, but an accurate diagnosis is necessary to proceed with the appropriate treatment.
I recommend consulting with a general surgeon as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation.
For better evaluation and personalized treatment, you can also consult me. Feel free to reach me via WhatsApp on eight, zero, zero, nine, eight, two, one, three, three, two.
