What the fucking fuck is up with my belly button? *pics*

[Grossandembarrassing]

Ermmm...

This is disgusting, but what the actual fuck is wrong with this? What cream does it need?
Doctor? Nurse? Pharmacist?

I have no medical training but would guess at fungal infection. Maybe try the pharmacy first.

Hmm! I'd try a pharmacist initially. I reckon it could probably be treated with an OTC cream.

Ewwwwww fungas! You need the doc to prescribe a cream.

You can. Get thrush in your belly button, try canestan or mild hydrocortisone if that doesn't work.

I had a belly button that looked like that once on holiday in Thailand . then it started spreading , was cellulitis ended up on huge doses of antibiotics. Draw a line around the end point of rash to see if it's spreading.

Fungal, get to the pharmacy!

Fungal infection, looks identical to the one I had. I used canesten hydrocortisone cream available from any chemist and it cleared up very quickly.

Definitely draw a line around the red bit in case it spreads.

Caniston it is!

Be sure to ask for the hydrocortisone canesten, it'll be gone in a couple of days.

Thanks!

Fungal or cellulitis. Needs treatment.

Lyme's? Sorry but it looks a bit bulls eyeish - definitely get it looked at by pharmacist rather than just going to get the cream over the counter.

Difiniteky not lymes

Sorry typos

Ringworm? Get thee to the GP!

If it's fungal, then you'll need the anti-fungal Canestan, not the hydrocortisone one. Just trust whatever the pharmacist recommends!

Oh god
I don't know if I can show it to the pharmacist! It's rank!

You can buy it online at Chemist Direct.

I had something similar last week. Just explained it to the pharmacist- went into the little room first - he said it was a bacterial infection and I used saving cream for 3 days. All cleared up now. He didn't ask to see it.

Are you overweight at all and been hot / sweaty lately? Does it smell?

If so, most likely a bit of irritation / infection caused by heat / lack of fresh air. It's very common. Give it a good clean and dry twice a day and wipe over with TCP. It'll be fine in a couple of days.

gross

Honestly, if it is Lyme's it is much better treated earlier rather than waiting. The pharmacist will have seen much, much worse than a dodgy belly button - trust me!

My guess is ringworm, which you treat with daktacore (spelling?)

I am large of tum and got this a few times
I just kept it clean, dry and (when I could) laid in a position so air could get to it and it cleared up in a few days.
I assumed it was just skin rubbing and being hot and sweaty etc

You've either not dried your tummy button properly or you've been sweating. I had once before I lost weight. I just washed and dried thoroughly and wiped with diluted Dettol. It cleared after two days. Haven't had it since but now I dry my button better.
