I am 21 years old. I had some infection in belly button. I kept washing it thoroughly. After many days, some liquid like substance just started coming out from it. Is there any problem?

It is an infection on the belly button. Avoid using soap there. Do the following: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in warm water and flush the belly button with it gently. Pat dry with a soft towel, or use a hair dryer on a low setting to gently dry the belly button. Soak a washcloth in warm water, wring it out completely and then hold the warm damp cloth over your belly button. This is a simple way to relieve pain. If you do have a belly button infection there are some things you should and should not do to clear up the issue. Don?t use any over the counter creams or powders that are advertised as ?antiseptic.? They will only add to the general irritation of the areas. Do follow through with taking any medications your doctor prescribes to you and using any prescription ointments or creams. Don?t pick or scratch at the belly button, after you have cleaned and dried the area, cover it with cause if you need a reminder not to touch it. Don?t try to ?turn it inside out.? Don?t stress the skin but flush the cavity to clean it.
