For the last week or so I have had a "crusty" belly button w/an unpleasant odor. I do have a navel piercing but I have removed it. It looks milky white-ish (the discharge) and I think it maybe pus. I'm pretty positive that it in an infection, but my question is what should I do about it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
