Does this look infected?

[Yourinmyspot]

Warning belly button photos. I have had this rash in my belly button for over a week now. It’s a bit sore and smelly but not awful. I’m just not sure if it’s infected or not.

Can’t see the photo?

washbit and dry it well , use some sudocrem in there!

No pics so cannot offer advice.

Looks like psoriasis OP. Do you have scabs anywhere else?

It’s infected with something if its sore and smelly. Could be fungal?

I’d go and see someone though - looks painful.

Try hibiscrub

It doesn’t look great. Rinse with salt water, dry it thoroughly and keep it dry, if suedocrem doesn’t work try canesten

Have you shown it to a pharmacist? They might be able to suggest something for it.

Can see pics now. Definitely looks like it's infected. Maybe call at the pharmacy and ask there ? Otherwise go to out of hours docs.

That is psoriasis

I would try and find a pharmacist open tomorrow Tesco pharmacies are open, to get it looked at, try boiled water with salt and then Sudocream until you get it looked at, anything smelly needs attention. GP may need to do a scrape to send it off to see what type of infection it is.

do you need to ask?! see a GP

That’s infected. Go see a pharmacist or your practice nurse.

Thanks, I have got a skin condition they aren’t sure exactly what yet. I’m on a course of steroids at the moment. I’ll try some sudocreme and I’ve got some hibiscrub so will use a bit of that and see how it is tomorrow.

That looks a bit like impetigo to me.
