Infection in belly button

[mbranham0306 0]

Has anyone had any problems with an infection in their belly botton? I had my surgery over a year ago. I got up this morning and went to take a shower and got a whiff of this (TMI) awful smell. Well, its my belly botton. My tummy right around it has been kinda sore for a few days but I wasn't sure what was going on. I'm gonna call my bariatric dr. office tomorrow but has anyone had this problem??? Please help! Any ideas on how to doctor it until tomorrow? Thanks!!

It might be a yeast infection in there. Sometimes that can happen, especially if you're an innie. Lamasil should take care of it.

I went to the doctor this morning....it was a yeast infection and they gave me Lotrisone for it. It sure burnt me up when I put it on for the first time but it feels alot better now!

Just make sure you dry it out real well after a shower lol.
