Did you know your belly button can get infected? It is a small spot that often gets ignored, but it needs care just like the rest of your body. Tap to know more about it!
The belly button is warm and moist, making it a perfect place for bacteria to grow. Without proper cleaning, germs can build up fast.
Deep or inward belly buttons trap more dirt. This increases the risk of infection if not cleaned regularly.
Not washing the area properly can lead to bacterial or fungal infections. Regular gentle cleaning helps prevent this.
Belly button piercings can introduce bacteria. If not cleaned well, they may lead to irritation or infection.
Redness, swelling, bad smell, or discharge are signs of infection. It’s important to treat these early.
Use warm water and mild soap to gently clean the area. Dry it well to prevent moisture buildup.
