Belly button discharge while on antibiotics?
I went to the doctors yesterday because i was having pain around my belly button. The skin was red and inflamed and it hurt terribly to bend over/get up out of a sitting/laying position. He told me i had a belly button infection and put me on some antibiotics. Granted i just started taking them yesterday, nothing pain wise had really changed up until about 20 minutes ago. I looked down and i noticed this dark colored discharge was oozing out, and almost immediately i felt relief from the pain i had. I went to the bathroom to clean it up when i started to bleed out of my belly button as well. Quite a bit. It stopped not long after and i now currently almost have no pain at all. Still a little tender, but maybe like 10% of what it was. Is this normal? I mean i can understand the dischrage, i assumed right away it was the antibiotics working, but the blood? I would probably be more concerned if the bleeding hadn't stopped or was painful but i feel almost completely better now? Advice would be wonderful, i know going to the doctor is really the only solution but if anyone else has had this happen and can save me a trip, that would be wonderful.

The discharge isn't normal, and has nothing to do with the antibiotics. Suggests there was some kind of abscess or cyst there that burst. A bursting abscess might make you feel better (but isn't necessarily a good sign.)
A small amount of blood isn't that abnormal, actually. I've had that.
When you take a bath:
1.) Wash your belly button
2.) Lie down in the tub and pour Listerine in your belly button.
3.) Dry your belly button COMPLETELY
4.) Spray regular foot athletes foot spray in your belly button.
This will get rid of any fungus (like a yeast infection or athletes foot) in your belly button.
If the problem isn't resolved in 10 days, see your doctor and talk about the discharge.
