Well I was cleaning out the inside of my belly button w/ a q-tip, then I saw deep inside there is a solid chunk. I was picking at it with a pair of tweezers but in scared to really go at it. It is kind of hard and I was scratching away at it with the tweezers. Is it safe to pull it out or is it apart of me? Please help!

Try to pull it out and be gentle. If it hurts too bad, it is either part of you or it just needs to be carefully pulled out. Try laying on your back and pouring some rubbing alcohol in there. This will help the "lint" to become soft and will be less painful to remove. Good luck!

It's not a part of you unless you can feel something when you touch it... but it's most likely dead ucky skin and dirt that has accumulated. Put some baby oil in there with the Q tip to soften it for an hour or so, and see what happens.
Don't use tweezers or you could damage the skin around it. If it's meant to come out, oil will do the trick. Just use Q tips.

Is it flesh colored? Can you feel it? If so it's a part of you.
