Umbilical stump of my new born daughter (7days old) is removed. But I still see a small wound around the area, is this normal? do I need to apply any cream or ointment to heal the wound.

It is better not to touch the area at all. It will be gone by itself. You remain in touch with me if you want regular advice as your family doctor,
