An umbilical granuloma looks like a little red lump and may be covered in yellow or clear discharge. An estimated 1 out of 500 newborn babies have an umbilical granuloma.
An umbilical granuloma may not bother your baby. However, it can become infected. This can lead to other symptoms, such as skin irritation around the belly button and a fever.
