A member asked:
Why is my belly button turning light purple my dr said it was a small yeastnfecton but since i started using the cream it got darker?

May be temporary: After some skin irritations, especially if swelling was involved there may be desquamation during which the outer cells are sloughed off like blister skin. The normal color returns when those cells get rubbed away during normal washing. If the darkness persists see your doctor.
