ACCEPTED

In some cases this can be due to a hernia or an infection in the navel so it is best that you have this checked out by your physician. In alot of cases it is known as a herniated navel and can also be due to a staph infection so it is highly recommended that you have this looked at by your physician so they can determine the cause and best course of treatment.
