What Causes Rash Inside The Belly Button?
I have a little rash on the inside of my belly button that began yesterday and it is still there today. The rash is weeping this clear discharge and it hurt when I put peroxide on it. Could it be an allergic reaction to something I ate? I don t believe I am allergic to anything.

Hi,
It may be irritant contact dermatitis with secondary bacterial infection. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antibiotic cream in the lesion. And take a course of antibiotic and steroid in tapering dose. Avoid contact with soap which may irritate the skin.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
