A member asked:
In the inside of my navel it's spilt and draining, and my navel is sunken in completely now, what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Omphalitis: This is most common among men with hairy skin on abdomen and deep navel (persistent urachus) with hair trapped in the navel by tiny barbs on sides of hairs and a pilar sinus. There are other explanations. Most DRs have no experience with this. Try a GYN or surgeon. Insist that the DR read up on omphalitis.
