A member asked:
Can you rip or tear your belly button by waxing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This seems to be a repeat of a previously asked question. If you think you did damage to your body, go see a physician to evaluate extent of the problem, help you manage tissue healing, and help you prevent infection.
