I am 21 female and my belly button is red on the inside like a rash painful to the touch and sometime ached while sitting down or stamding up and i cleaned it and a clump of hair came out with the napkin. Im not sure what to think of this it wasnt my hair and I have 4 large dogs. Could some of theor hair have gotten into my bellbutton somehow and cause an infection?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that there is an infection present. Skin infections can present with redness, discomfort, discharge, increased warmth. Some or all of these symptoms may be present. The hair could be contamination from your dogs since you have 4 of them. It may be possible to treat the infection with topical antiseptic and antibiotics. The area can be cleaned at least once daily with the antiseptic and the topical antibiotics applied. These should be available at your local pharmacy. If it does not resolve with topical therapy then oral antibiotics may be needed. I hope this helps
