Sent to Health Experts March 15 09:55 PM

I vomited 1 time in Aug 06. In Dec 06 I felt nausiated on and off and didn't have daily bowel movements as normal. That feeling lasted for a while; my doctor has me taking Citricel daily. The nausia has gone away, I haven't vomited since that 1 time but now I find I have a smelly discharge from my belly button and what seems to be a little blood. Could this all be connected? What could it be?

Hello

No, I don't believe this is related. It sounds like you have a fungal or yeast infection in your belly button which an over the counter antifungal cream will clear up. Lotrimin is one good choice. Also, keep the area clean with soap and water and dry well. You might also mix equal parts antifungal with an antibiotic ointment such as bacitracin.

Allow time each day for the area to be open to air.
