Need more info: What you described suggests inflammation of the skin in the pit of the belly button. If you are overweight, that make the pit at the belly button deeper and more prone to accumulation of debris and infection. You may need to see your doctor for an evaluation and topical antibiotics. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
