A member asked:

I have had some cold sores appear right under my belly button, what can be the cause of this? they are various cold sores letting out liquid and blood

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be Herpes Simple: You should have it checked, it may be herpes simplex or it could be a bacterial skin infection or an allergic reaction to an insect bite. Meanwhile do not try to squeeze or puncture these cold sores as they may spread. The doctor might take a culture from the the liquid coming out of the sores and treat you with antibiotics if indicated.
