Expert Answer

A pus bump on the belly may be pyoderma, a bacterial infection of the hair follicles, often tied to hormone imbalance, allergies, or external parasites. Treat with antibacterial/anti-inflammatory sprays and ointments; deep pyoderma may need oral antibiotics such as cephalexin.

Disinfect the spot with iodine and keep the area clean.
