Abstract

An umbilical granuloma is a small, granulation tissue-filled swelling at the base of the umbilicus, commonly occurring in newborns. Various treatment options are available, including the topical application of common salt; however, its availability varies across healthcare facilities, and the most effective method remains uncertain. This serial case report describes infants presenting with umbilical masses accompanied by discharge. Physical examination revealed a flesh-like, protruding mass from the umbilicus, associated with yellowish and reddish discharge and surrounding normal skin. The granuloma was resolved entirely through the topical application of common salt. Our findings suggest that common salt is an effective, simple, and inexpensive treatment for umbilical granuloma. With regular monitoring, this approach could serve as a viable alternative to more advanced therapies.
