Hello,

It could be of great help if you can send me a photo of you belly button. From your description, it seems fungal infection of your belly button. Apply antibiotic ointment in the morning and anti-fungal ointment in the evening. And apply anti-fungal powder in the afternoon. Continue for at least 1 week.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
