What Could A Bump On The Belly Button Which Healed After Maintaining Hygiene Be?
Hello. I have a pimple like bump in my belly button, belly button is a little sensitive. It has happened before so I started a rigid routine of washing it with dial antibacterial soap, then rinsing that out with hydrogen peroxide, then drying, and finishing with applying neosporin the my belly button. And it went away. What do you think it is.

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to a foruncle which is an infection of the hair follicle. I see that you have already treated it properly. I would suggest to maintain good hygiene and wear cotton loose clothes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
