I noticed today that I have what looks like a rash in my belly button. It hurts a bit, especially when touch. It looks like it has white liquid coming out of it when I sqeezed my belly to look at the red rash type blemish in my belly button.
I'm not sure if it is an allergic reaction to something or what it is or if it might need to be checked out.
I am a 19 year old female.

my medic wouldn't stop bringing up my lactating belly button. it became the running joke in my unit for about a month.
dirty bird.
