Umbilical Hernia – Symptoms and Causes

Belly Button Discoloration

An umbilical hernia would cause the belly button to become discolored. When the babies cry or strain, this spot tends to turn blue, red, or pink. At the same time, the size of the bulge is also increased. In most cases, this is a usual sign that should not be a source of concern. However, if your children show other serious symptoms, it is advisable to visit a healthcare provider to get a precise diagnosis and prevent further complications.[4]
