A member asked:
My belly button is red, inflamed, and has sores on the inside that are bleeding. what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: The "belly button" area is extremely sensitive. If you simply scratch it once, it may start a reaction that itches more and then you scratch and the cycle gets worse and worse. In addition, the area is a common spot for psoriasis. Just leave the area alone for a few days and see what happens. You can try to rub in over the counter Hydrocortisone twice a day too for faster results.
