I forgot all about belly button lint. Then yesterday I noticed something hard in my belly button, black in color and the shape of the rounded tip of an automatic eye pencil (that's the best way to describe it.) Years ago there was fluffy lint, but I guess I forgot all about it and forgot to clean it out. I'm really scared. Anyone know why it's hard like that? I don't have the $25.00 to go to the doctor just yet, but I will eventually. I'm sick with worry. I couldn't find any answers on the Internet, just that if it's lint it should be fluffy. Mine is very hard. Any answers would be welcome. I'm really scared.

Borrow the $25.00 and get to a dermatologist A.S.A.P. It could be a mole, or something more serious. Only a doctor can tell for sure.

If you were just digging around in your belly button and found this and it's not bleeding, or causing pain you should just spend the $25 on gum and candy and forget about it.
