Same happened to us - dr said do NOT clean it or put alcohol on it - they did a painless cauterization in office and said no baths for 3-5 days - he’s all healed and good nowDefinitely call dr
umbilical granuloma?
My son is 8 days old today and his umbilical cord fell off 2 days ago. everything was looking good except I'm now noticing a red bump and it's all gooey. does this look abnormal? I'm going to call the doctors tomorrow but since it's new years everything is closed and I just wanted a few opinions. thank you. btw I've since cleaned up the crusty stuff on the outside of it but I was waiting before to make sure it wasn't attached to something.

Put alcohol on it ASAP. Make sure you put it on there at least three times a day. If you see it’s burning him when you put alcohol on it take him in to see his pediatrician immediately because that means it wasn’t ready to come off and could get infected. He is almost dude for his two week appointment too, so if it isn’t hurting and he doesn’t have a fever I’d wait till then.
