What is an umbilical granuloma?
An umbilical granuloma is a piece of tissue that remains on your baby's belly button after the umbilical cord falls off. Rather than healing up and becoming covered with skin, a bright red stalk of tissue remains on the belly button. It has a grainy surface and produces sticky mucus. Without treatment, it could ooze and become an irritation for several months.

Miss CJ was a very good patient and although she was quite the wiggle worm, the doctor finished the procedure quite quickly. Carmen left a happy camper enjoying her bottle and by the time we hit the road she was fast asleep.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
