A member asked:

What does it mean when your belly button is bleeding and hurts when you bend over to pick something up?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Something in it: If it hurts and bleeds, it means you have an active lesion in it, either an infection or a skin lesion. You'd better get it checked out by your physician to get the appropriate treatment soon.
