Suggest Remedy For Soreness And White Patches On Skin Near Belly Button
I pierced my belly button and it's a bit infected so i've been cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide, but when i used it just now, everywhere it touched made my skin a little whiter in all those areas. What's wrong and how do i get rid of the patches and the infection?

Hi, If i were your treating doctor, then i would advice
1) first get the infection treated.
2) A full course of antibiotics, and cleaning the region with antiseptic lotion would be of great help.
3) regarding patches, first get infection treated, then applying cream containing coconut oil will be of great help.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
