Question 1

my belly button hair came off there was goo in my belly button and the haifa came off its long and a lot it hearts now and it looks pink on it?

Accepted Answer

Proofread please!: Ok, best guess to issue is there was a top layer / crust / scab on bb, which came off, took hair(s) w/it, exposing pink/raw skin underneath and had some fluid collection in it. Not usually a problem, suggests you need to clean out bb more often (can use cotton swab & gentle rubbing) and make sure to dry it when wet. Topical antibiotic ointment can reduce pain. See dr if not better 5-7 days.

Question 2

UMBILICAL GOO?: I presume you have dirt in your belly button and having a hard time cleaning it. Get a q-tip and wet it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean it.

Question 6

why is there puss and blood coming from my belly button?

Accepted Answer

Infected impaction?: People with deep 'innies' may slowly build up shedded old skin cells, bacteria and other 'lint' in the belly button (umbilicus), and it may become an impacted infected mass of material, that causes pain near the area, or foul odor, or abscess. That is one possibility. Of course, a careful physical exam should reveal the problem.

Question 7

i have a dark brown pussy substance mixed with blood coming from my belly button... the odor is very unpleasant. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Yes you should be: and likely will need to visit a doctor to treat for umbilical infection or some thing similar.  You may need antibiotics.  And you may need surgical debridement depending on whether it is an abscess.  Do not delay, see a healthcare provider or go to the ED right away.
