ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. don't apply it, will not cure.it seems umbilical granuloma.
check for discharge...if so than do salt treatment- A little salt can be placed on the granuloma and kept in place with a piece of gauze taped over the belly button. After 10 to 30 minutes, clean the area with a gauze pad that you’ve soaked with warm water. Repeat twice a day for two or three days. If the granuloma doesn’t shrink and begin to dry out, see your doctor. If the salt treatment seems to be working, continue it until the granuloma disappears and the belly button starts to heal.consult paedritician once
