What Causes Itching And Burning Feeling In The Belly Button?

Hi, for the past few days, I have had an itchy, burning feeling in my belly button and the skin surrounding ( most of my stomach) is really itchy. I ve also noticed bloating in my stomach. We just came back from the beach and didn t know if the sand or water could be related? Or what this is because it s very uncomfortable. The only redness is on a couple of old incision marks inside my belly button from old surgeries.
