A member asked:

How long does it take for hard brown dirt to come of belly button with shower gel when you wash it every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Straight away: You may need to gently cleanse the belly button with a cotton tipped applicator. Regular soap and water should suffice. Hope this helps!
