Answers:
If the area is swollen and or very red and sore, you might actually have a hernia, go see a doctor!. Sometimes soaps and lotions and oils get in there and they are trapped in the fold of skin and it becomes infected!. If, there is a bad smelling fluid or pus (yeast infection, etc!.) then rinsing the area out with a good warm water and baking soda rinse willl help greatly!. Cup of hot tap water and a tablespoon of baking soda, mixed!. Use Bactine to cleanse the belly button, no bactine!? Use a good strong mouthwash like Listerine to rinse the area out, it will kill germs and that is the goal here!. Keep the inside of the tummy button clean and as dry as possible!. Use diaper rash ointment, like Desitin to control rash, or chafing or other irritations inside the area!. Vaseline will work too!. If it becomes worse, go see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I assume you are not a child so as an adult, there is nothing to do!. Perhaps you have irritated the skin and in your sleep rubbed it to hard or something!. Try some anti-itch medicine like hydrocortisone cream to relieve the irritation!. Should clear up quickly but you may need to apply this twice a day for a few days!.

I don't know how old you are so please forgive me if this sounds obvious but do you keep it clean!? Showering instead of bathing can mean that some places don't get the attention they need and infection can occur!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
