I experience a belly button discharge, from three days time. Sometimes yellowish and sometimes dark in color and smelly. I can also see a small clot of pink color exactly at the bottom(not on the wall skin around). Painful when touches it. I am currently not at a close proximity of a doctor. Please tell me what this can be and how risky will it be. I wash my belly button twice a day and make sure to keep it clean. Please help me.

What you describe sounds like an infection. Keep it clean and dry however if it continues to get worse or no change then make an appointment with your doctor.

Best wishes,
