Problem description: Hello doctor, I would like to ask my child just turned 42 days today, and there is a small granulation-like thing left after the umbilical cord fell off in about half a month. Is this the umbilical cord root or granulation? Is the organization proliferating? I have just used hydrogen peroxide to reduce inflammation in the past two days, and there has been no exudation or bleeding. Can I intervene in other ways like this? Can it fall off by itself?
