Medical news of north caucasus 2018. Vоl. 13. Iss. 3 U mbilical granuloma is the most common umbilical pathology in newborns and young children [1, 2], developing in about 1 in 500 births [3]. The umbilical granuloma is overgrown tissue that develops during the healing process of the navel, usually in response to a mild infection. It appears as a soft, pink or red lump and is often wet, oozing a small amount of clear or yellow fluid. Umbilical cord granulomas do not contain nerves and thus have no sensation [4]. The umbilical cord is usually separated within 7-10 days after delivery [5]. Normally, the granulation tissue of an absorbable umbilical stump of a newborn disappears by the second or third week of life. If present after this time, the persistent granuloma requires attention. Methods for treating umbilical granulomas include chemical cauterization with silver nitrate or copper sulfate, cryo-cauterization, electrical cautery, a double-ligature technique, and surgical excision. In addition, in 1972, Schmitt described the drying effect of table salt on umbilical granulomas [6].Our study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of edible salt on umbilical granulomas in neonates.

This prospective study was conducted on 21 infants (28-63 days old) with an umbilical granuloma. The treatment, performed in the patient's home, comprised application of common (edible) salt on the lesion twice a day for 5 days. Results were good in all cases. Thus, application of common salt for treating umbilical granulomas is simple and safe.Фунгус -одно из часто встречающихся заболеваний пупка у новорожденных и грудных детей. Было проведено проспективное исследование 21 ребенка в возрасте 28-63 дней, лечившихся амбулаторно. Лечение проводилось родителями дома путем аппликаций кристаллов столовой соли на фунгус под лейкопластырной наклейкой на 20 минут дважды в день, на протяжении 5 дней. У всех пациентов был получен хороший результат. Таким образом, использование предлагаемой методики показало ее эффективность и безопасность в лечении фунгуса пупка у грудных детей.
