A member asked:
My belly button seemed moist/greasy and had a fishy smell, no itching redness or anything, is it an infection? what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be. Wash the affected area with soap and water, dry it gently and apply triple antibiotic cream. If that does not resolve the matter in 3-4 days, see a doctor.
