How To Cure Scab Inside The Belly Button?
I recently discovered a scab inside my belly button. After looking at it, I saw that it was attached at the end. It doesn t hurt but it does annoy me because its there. I want to take it out but I am afraid it will leave an opening in its place. Is there anything I can do?
