Question 1

why is my belly button have brown stuff my dr said i had a small yeast infection but can the steam make it heart how do i clean it no sytoms?

Accepted Answer

Belly button.: Clean your belly button with a q-tip and hydrogen peroxide.  Then dry it well with another q-tip.  Keeping it dry in between cleanings is key.  If symptoms continue, ask your doctor to prescribe a cream.
I am not familiar with steam therapy for the belly button.

Question 2

dr said i had a small yeast infection in belly button i used the cream but its brown can that be from the steam or suger how do i clean it anxious?

Accepted Answer

Use a q-tip w soap: Clean several ted a day with a q- tipamd soap. These infections temporarily discolor the skin sometimes. It took me six weeks to get over one after trying anti fungal powder with no success, and then using an oral fungicidal drug for two weeks. I tried powder and they did not help. A zinc skin protection ointment finally helped. Good luck to you. It will clear, but it definitely takes time patienc.

Question 3

i went to my dr  said i have a little yeast infection in my belly button but i been put antibiotic cream on it now using cream can it be bad anxious?

Accepted Answer

Probablly not: You were using an antibiotic cream on it which would help with many bacterial infections. When you went to the doctor they diagnosed a yeast infection which is not helped by antibiotic cream. So they recommended a different cream that would help to kill the yeast. You should be fine. If the symptoms don't get better or return, then you should see the doctor again for further  evaluation.

Question 4

i have a pain right behind my belly button and the pain shoots down to my groin sometimes.the hospital said i had a yeast infection.could that be why?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It is unlikely that yeast infection will cause pain behind your belly button.I will suggest you consult your medical doctor to find the cause of pain behind your belly button radiating to groin.
You will need a detailed history and physical exam and if indicated blood and urine test and may be imaging like cat scan.

Question 5

how can you treat a yeast infection in the belly button?

Accepted Answer

?diagnosis: Make sure you know it's a yeast infection !  if your doctor has cultured it then she/he will treat it with the appropriate medication, local anti-fungal cream.

Question 6

can you get a yeast infection in the belly button? describe it.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any moist, warm place can get a topical yeast infection, such as the navel, between the legs, between the toes, or between folds of skin.  It typically has a red base, with what may look like white discharge, and may smell like bread or beer.

Question 7

dr gave me cream for small yeast infection in belly button but i been using antibiotic cream when i started the new one i felt numb i'm very anxious?

Accepted Answer

Don't be anxious: Yeast infections or fungal infections are not treated by antibx creams, but instead need fungal creams to help get rid of them.  If the area is still bothering you, check with the rx dr and see if maybe a different anti-fungal cream would help .  Best wishes.

Question 8

i have some white moist, thick stuff under my foreskin it gets removed easily by cloth its grainy and moist, n my belly button also develops some fungi in it so i wonder do i have yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

: This sounds normal. The material under your foreskin is called smegma; the same can occur in any closed space without access to air, like a deep navel. Uncircumcised adults males need to retract the foreskin and wash with soap and water once a day, to keep smegma to a minimum and reduce the chance of infection. Presence of fungi is not abnormal unless there is inflammation (redness, irritation).

Question 9

is there any problem if this yeast infection untreated. any connections between neutrophilia and yeast infection. yeast infection in the belly button or vagina?

Accepted Answer

Likely: due to insulin resistance/carbohydrate sensitivity, getting tested for this may help, and could help reduce potential risk of diabetes

Question 10

might have yeast infection? there's some white flakes in urine and now a foul puss in belly button. will monistat work?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: it does not add up.
white flakes in the urine could indicate yeast infection.
but foul puss in the belly button indicates completely separate problem, it could more serious problem.
so please go and see your doctor for full evaluation, and proper treatment.
