A member asked:

A smelly clear liquid from my belly button,about 30 years ago i had urachal cyst removal from my naval canal,is it possible i might have another cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Suture abscess?: If there were permanent sutures used, it could be an infected suture that is easily treated by removing it. This can happen after years of not causing any tepuble at all. A general surgeon would be the one to tackle this. Unlikely a recurrent cyst, but possible.

Dr Feola and another doctor agreed
