Isla still has this! We have used silver nitrate countless times, but it never did much. Beware that it stains everything terribly- including the durrounding skin and clothing- it doesnt come off the clothes, but will wear off skin eventually.

The only other option we were told was to use liquid nitrogen but I will not let them dot his to Isla. Isla's is still quite vascular, It still quite often bleeds a little from rubbing on clothes. Our Paed said Isla isthe oldest child hes ever known to have one, and usually they go with sliver nitrate. ]]> Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:00:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=467894&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#467894 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=467854&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#467854 Author: floss

Noah had this done to and I was scared it would hurt him but he didn't seem to notice then it just fell off a few days later.]]> Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:16:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=467854&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#467854 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466826&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466826 Author: Maya

Ouch is right Mazzy! Poor you!

Glad to hear it's relatively common! I tried to google it but when I googled umbilical quarterisation all I got was articles on vesicle quarterisation/vasectomies! ]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:17:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466826&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466826 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466801&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466801 Author: Mazzy

Keira had this, same as the others - the nurse at my GP's office used silver nitrate on it at the six week check and K didn't even blink. It went grey and came off, now she's sweet.
Another friend of mine had the same thing with her bubs earlier in the year. Funny, I'd never heard of it happening before and now everyone seems to have it happen!

I had silver nitrate used on me to burn back some hypergranulation around my tear and it did hurt a bit but that was because of where it was (ouch). It stopped hurting after about an hour and I was still able to move around and sit down etc. so wasn't horribly bad.

We had the same thing with Alani. It simply didn't dry off on its own. The GP put silvernitrate on it. We had to go back for a second treatment but then it healed beautifully. She's got a very pretty tummy button now. ]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:45:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466780&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466742&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466742 Author: Maya

Thanks for that, I was freaking out a bit coz it sounded painful, even tho my m/w assured me that there are no nerves there so it won't hurt her. I'll talk to the GP about it at her six week check next week.]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:22:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466742&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466742 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466678&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466678 Author: Kicker

Yep Madison had this. We just took her to the GP who used a silver stick thingy (silver nitrate i think) and rubbed it on her belly button. It didnt seem to hurt her and the stumpy bit just went grey and then fell off about a week later.]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:55:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466678&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466678 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466593&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466593 Author: Maya

Our midwife has just been for her discharge visit and Chiara's belly button is still a bit mucky. She apparently has an exposed vessel in it and my midwife thinks it will need to be quarterised which sounds nasty - they use the same stuff they use to burn off warts

Has anyone else's bub had an exposed vessel in their belly button and if so, what did you do about it?]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:13:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20064&PID=466593&title=umbilicus-question-re-exposed-vessel#466593
