hi I'm dr. Rossi eviction I'm a
dermatologist practicing in Bangalore
from the last 15 years the belly button
is basically the umbilicus we call it is
umbilicus it is a reservoir of dead
cells so you can imagine that we wash
our body with soap water on a regular
basis but in the bellybutton there is no
sloughing of the skin which is happening
the dead skin is accumulating in these
hidden nooks and crevices so there is a
growth of the anaerobic bacteria over
here so that is why when it is not
cleaned very regularly the umbilicus
tends to smell so some of us have
cleanable akiza's which have not got too
many nooks or crevices it is like a year
everybody is unique isn't it so you
might not have the same curvatures in
your Millikan's that another person has
so remember whenever you are having a
path you have to make sure that you
clean it very gently with a towel and
apply some soap and water and try to
rinse out the umbilicus and then keep it
dry you can also use an a cotton bud and
put an antibiotic cream like your mousse
in cream and apply it at night to
prevent the formation of bacterial
residue there especially if you are
thrown for getting repeated smelling
discharged from your umbilical area if
you feel that it keeps on coming and
there is a secretion there might be some
sinus formation or there might be some
problem here where the skin has become
irritated then you need to see either a
dermatologist or a surgeon to make sure
that you don't need an oral antibiotic
to tackle this problem
