Question
Could you please take a look at the new flesh that has appeared at the navel and is blood-red? The baby was born on April 27th and is now over 40 days old. Thank you for your help.
Answer
Hello, the new flesh appearing at the navel and appearing blood-red may be an umbilical cord granuloma. This condition is usually caused by incomplete sterilization of the umbilical cord. It is recommended to visit a surgeon for silver nitrate burn or excision treatment. You can also apply silver nitrate or gentian violet first. If the situation is severe, it is best to consult a hospital for follow-up treatment.
