Clean Belly Button: 1 cleanse the area around your navel with a gentle, antibacterial soap. "innie" belly buttons may require the use of a cotton swab to thoroughly remove built-up dirt, dead skin cells and oil. 2 towel-dry your belly button. Be sure not to leave it damp since candida (yeast) thrives in moist conditions. 3 dip a cotton swab into astringent. Sweep it softly around the outside of your navel.

Please clarify: Under normal conditions your belly button/naval can be cleaned just fine with soap and water. Is your naval numb or part of your abdomen. You indicate liquid in your naval was this liquid coming out of it, what did it look like. I doubt antibiotic ointment is helping you any. I'll be happy to answer in more detail.
