Smelly belly button???!


Question: Ok, so I know this is gross, BUT, my girlfriend's belly button has a funky smell...I know that it can be from sweat or an infection, so we cleaned it out with peroxide (she said it burned), I'm wondering is it okay to put Neosporin inside of it?


No stupid answers please!

Neosporin generally isn't going to help unless she has an open sore in the area. (It's an antibiotic ointment and wouldn't be of any use for a skin infection.)

I would just try to wash it out well with soap and water, personally.

soap and water.

Stick your finger in your belly button and smell. It stinks too. Yes it is from sweat. We all need to keep them clean and no neosporian won't hurt it.

its probably because she doesnt wash it out in the shower (who does?). Because of that, bacteria can grow in there, and then the sweat combining with the bacteria can make a pretty bad smell. (The same thing happens behind your ears too!) Just tell her to wash her belly button when she takes a shower, it should get better.

CAlled soak in a tub of bubble bath and if that don't work then contact your doctor.

yes, you could do that. apply with a q tip. twll to dry her navel with a q tip after taking a shower. keepimng it dry will inprove the situation.
