i've been bleeding a lot from the center of my innie/outie belly button it is very painful and red. What could this be? I am scared also i want to avoid going to doctors because i am very afraid of other people looking/touching my navel.
Sounds like it's probably infected if it is bleeding alot. Since it is half outie that can get bad seeing as outie navel infections tend to be worse.
I know you are scared, but if you dont go to the doctor soon it will only get worse and they will only have to do more poking. And yes they will be looking at it and poking at it, im sorry.
