Belly Button

[techgamer]

So apparently I have an infection in my belly button. Apparently its semi normal. moisture gets trapped insde and turns into an infection, just like an ear infection. I have to take anti biotics and clean with alcohol. Its kinda painful. Anyone else have this?

 

[nageov3t]

no, and that's kinda gross?

My wife had something like this happen when she had her belly button ring.

She had to take it out and let it heal up.

I wonder if you could just stuff a cotton ball in there to absorb moisture, then throw it out and replace it once it's soaked.

Its not exactly dripping. moisture just means condensation, not like a faucet.

Exactly, the alcohol will kill off anything that shouldn't be there. The treatment won't hurt (much) but the infection could make the area quite tender.

And please make sure it stays there.
Though I just got a horrible idea for a goatse parody.

Once this heals, start using WD40 regularly.

Wow, I've never heard of this before. In a way, I'm glad....

Thanks for sharing. You wanna tell us about your toe-jam next?

Are you overweight?

Made me just wash my belly button just now. Just in case.

 

[Kadarin]

Nope. Mine just collects lint every once in a while.

 

[episodic]

Just checked mine, thank goodness it seems fine.

How does moisture get "trapped" in there? Do you guys have freakishly deep bellybuttons or something?

 

[akshatp]

Makes me wanna have an "outtie"
