Dear patient,
Having hair in belly button is absolutely normal. Though some hairy men may have excessive hair and also females with hormonal disturbances in disorders causing hirsutism like PCOD may have excessive amount of hair. yours seems to be anormal case, but yes, pls make sure to keep your belly button clean and free of poop as it may lead to infections. Using an earbud to keep it clean is a gud idea.
