Suggest Treatment For Red Itchy Bumps On Belly Button
I have had a belly button piercing for about two years and just recently I started to get red itchy bumps inside and under my bellybutton. Also, there is yellow crusty stuff inside. What is it, how can I clear it up, and can I keep my belly button piercing?

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is contact dermatitis at the particular area.Topical mild steroid cream like mometasone can be applied over the affected area. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
