Question

My navel is black in colour inside, as if blood or dead skin are trapped there. It is quite deep. I hate it. Can you help me?

Answer

You should discuss this with your GP, as a referral to general surgeons or gynaecologists may be warranted. There are a number of possible diagnosis for this description, and a specialist review may help.
