Pus from navel region
Hello doctor,
Pus oozes out of my navel region (belly button), having foul smell. The area around it also breaks out with redness and rashes. I avoid itching.
If I use boroline cream antispetic for 2-3 days, the area gets clean and back to normal.
However it recurs in a few days.
Also, I have abdominal stitches of a c-section surgery for my baby's birth. Some rashes and eruptions happen in that area as well.
Are these 2 related?
I have been an SLE patient for almost 5 years but now have been advised not to take any medicines for the same.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks & Regards
