Question 4

pussy bleeding from belly button?

Accepted Answer

Omphalitis: Belly button infections are very rare in adults.  It may be due to something as simple as a skin infection or infected hair follicle.  I would recommend local wound care and antibiotics.  If it returns, a ct scan is needed to check for any umbilical cord-related remnants which may need to be removed. (btw-the adjective of "pus" is purulent, not pussy).
