White Circular Rash Like Dry Skin Patch Above Navel. History Of Navel Piercing. Advice
I have a white circular rash on my stomach above my navel. It forms almost a perfect circle. The rash itself looks like a dry skin patch. I recently had gotten a navel piercing in march, but this rash showed up about 3 weeks ago. I haven't really noticed it until a few days ago. What could it be, since I do not have this problem anywhere else on my body
