What Does A Red Rash Around The Belly Button Indicate?
Hi, I have a red rash around my belly button and several small red spots around down towards my crotch but stopping at my belt line and it is somewhat worrying and I d like to know a little more before actually panicking, should I get it checked out or is there anything I can do myself?

Hi
There are many causes of rash ranging from eczematous rash, drug rash, seborrhoeic dermatitis or allergic rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
