Belly button, navel, umbilicus, especially in the “innie” configuration, are prone to collecting dust and debris which can be irritating. Mild soap and warm water when bathing can clear up most problems. When not bathing, please avoid manipulating or touching the area. If redness and pain don’t clear up in a few days, please see your doctor.
