Hi i had a pimple inside the belly button, hair started to grow FROM it but now after months it s gone.. Now there is an invisible pimple i feel that its underneath the skin just near the belly button... I actually have a lot of hair on my abdomen and yea i also had cut the hair around the belly button one or two years ago with scissor? This invisible pimple pain is getting on my nerves ??

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have noticed pimple inside the belly button which seems to be due to infection of hair follicle by bacteria leading to folliculitis. Need not to worry. Maintain cleanliness of the area. You should apply Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. Drink plenty of water. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks. Apply aloe vera gel at night.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
