A member asked:

Used peroxide and q tips to clean now my belly button hurts and is turning red in the center. any ideas why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irritation: The belly button is an easily irritated area because it consists mostly of skin-on-skin contact. Avoid using the peroxide and the irritation should subside. If it does not, you may have a superficial fungal infection. See your physician about a topical antifungal cream.
