What Causes Dark Pigmentation Of The Umbilicus Region?

Hi, I noticed over the last three days that the area around my belly button is a dark brown. It doesn t hurt, smell or itch. it s just a darker color all of the sudden. I haven t falling or rubbed up against anything. I go to the gym three times a week, but I haven t been for over a week because of work. Should I be concerned?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If there is no signs or symptoms of infection, no pain, no history of trauma then you can monitor the area.

It is unlikely, since there are no associated symptoms, that there should be any concern

I hope this helps
