What Could Wetness In Belly Button With Dry Skin Around It Indicate?
Hi i just realized this. Sp the other day i realized i had dry skin or whatever in my belly button. I usually notice this and scrape it out jently with my fingers. Well today i felt more dry skin arond my belly button and i noticed the inside of my belly button is wet. Whats going on??
It could be of great help if you can send me a photo of you belly button. From your description, it seems fungal infection of your belly button. Apply antibiotic ointment in the morning and anti-fungal ointment in the evening. And apply anti-fungal powder in the afternoon. Continue for at least 1 week.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
