I'm 19 weeks pregnant and have a boil under my belly button, is there a safe way to get rid of it? i heard vicks rub, but not sure if it is safe.

It needs examination: It may look like a simple boil, but it may be a defect in the umbilicus(belly button) with an infection that originates from the intestines. have your OB MD examine the area and recommend a Rx.
