Umbilical vellus in newborns is usually not self-healing because it is residual intestinal mucosa that mostly fails to disappear on its own.
Umbilical velvet is a polypoid growth that appears in the umbilicus of a pediatric patient after occlusion of the vitelline duct and incomplete disappearance of the distal mucosa. Generally the surface is smooth, the small ones are about the size of green beans, and the large ones are more than 0.5 centimeters in diameter. If the treatment is not carried out in time, it is more likely to cause a series of changes such as bleeding and the appearance of secretions in the umbilicus.
Babies with umbilical velvet should pay attention to keeping the navel position dry in general. Clearly newborns with umbilical velvet can be treated with surgical excision and suture under the guidance of a doctor.
