What Causes Pinching Sensation Around Belly Button?
I ve been having like a stomach pinch on the bottom left side of my stomach and near the belly button. First it started off and just a burning sensation and when i would shower, my back on the left side could not stand it. It felt like someone was pinching my back. Throughout the days, it started getting worse. I felt really itchy. It was up to a point that I scratched to hard on my stomach that I bled. I went to the doctor and he prescribed an antibiotic cream but that didnt work. I tried it for a couple of days. The rash went a way a little. Its still there now. Right now, it hurts when I touch my belly button just a little. And it feels like something on my skin is pinching and its up to the point where I want to scratch again. I dont know what it is. I need help.
HI Well come to HCM Such symptom could be due to some hypersensitivity reaction, symptom may aggravate with emotional stress, antibiotic wont work here because this is not infection, in my opinion oral antihistamine would be fine and option would be "Tab Loratadine one tab three times in day" try to keep the stress low, take care and have a nice day.
