Infected or normal bellybutton?!

Question

My babies stump fell off today, and this is what’s underneath. Its tan/green. Anyone else have that? Is it infected or normal? smells kinda bad too.

Answer

Def take to doctor. My baby got a silver nitrate cauterization (I think, it was some kind of silver infused liquid and it was on a swab she held on the stump for about a minute, it turned his skin purple in the belly button but within 24 hrs it was dried up and looked great) bc his looked similar. Dont wait, that can turn into a nightmare if you wait! Also, don't get it wet right now.

Answer

It actually looks like an umbilical granuloma

Answer

Infected

Answer

Spoke to pediatrician and had someone see it, not infected guys. This is normal apparently. But morning it dried up quite a bit, and it was oozing for a few days. But they do that, as long as there’s no redness and inflammation.

Answer

That does look undetected and certainly not normal to me. Call you health visitor x
