this is gross. occasioanlly in this hot weather it gets a bit sticky etc, but usually a good clean and a bit of antiseptic cream will help it stop getting sore. however i woke up this morning, and my belly button was covered in scabby dried blood and was ooozing. now thats not right is it?

Er...No. I think you need a trip to the GP. Is it pierced? A friend was told to fill her belly button up with Savlon wound wash and lie down for 10 minutes to stop infections, it could help but it sounds a bit late TBH.

damn, i dislike my GP. not pierced. its not oozing now though. and not bleeding.

antiseptic cream - savlon or similar. Or sudacrem (cure for all known ills).

GP if no better in a week. And dry it well after shower as it might be (ick ick ick) athlete's foot type fungus
