Suggest remedy for infection in belly button
Patient: i had a skin infection took antibiodics had a follow up where i was told i was clear of all infection but now my belly button stinks very bad and I clean regularly because of the stench but i wont go away and its potent and its embarassing how do i get rid of the stink? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Stinking after getting treated for skin infection of belly button can be overcome by maintaining good hygiene. Kindly clean it everyday with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon and using warm water. Apply Clotrimazole with Neomycin cream at bedtime to prevent fungal and bacterial infection. Do not apply deodorant sprays or steroid containing creams. Gradually, the stinking will subside completely. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
