i have no bellybutton ring so wat else could it be

it feels like it is inside my bellybutton right in the center

Answer 1

Your stomach muscles behind the belly button could be sore, and the redness could be from rubbing it or touching it too much (while you were undoubtedly exploring the cause of the soreness).

Or you may have some sort of laceration inside the belly button. Kind of an odd place to injure yourself, but hey..I wake up with mystery cuts and bruises almost daily. Call it clumsiness!

If the redness persists, see a doctor.

Answer 2

You probably have developed a fungus infection there. Wash with soap and water, dry gently with a Q tip. Apply any of the ointments you can buy for Athlete's Foot or Jock Itch. Apply once or twice a day for at least 3 days.

Answer 3

you have an infection. Try using hydrogen peroxide and make sure you get it down into the belly button, but don't force it down, just let it trickle. It should foam like mad. do this 3 times a day till the infection goes away. Then make sure you keep it clean and dry.

Answer 4

You could have some kind of infection. Clean the area out really well. If there is any kind of puss or discharge you may want to see your doctor.

Answer 5

i have had that happen to me before but all you really need to do is just to clean it out with alcohol daily it will go away in a few days if you clean it does it hurt when you strain your self? cuz it did to me hope everything works out k
