Navel Infection: Seeing small white bumps inside your umbilicus, or "belly button, " is a sure sign of infection and may require a trip to your doctor to clear up. The most common infection types there would include a yeast (candida albicans, whose name means "white" in latin), or a bacterial infection of the sweat glands/hair follicles by staph or strep bacteria. Treatments vary, so see your doctor to be sure!
