Aloe vera can be used to help heal a belly button infection. It has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that can ease pain and promote quick healing.
- Cut open an aloe vera leaf and extract the gel.
- Apply this gel on the belly button and allow it to dry on its own.
- Clean the area with a wet tissue and pat dry with a soft towel.
- Repeat several times a day until the infection is gone.
8. Turmeric
Turmeric can also be used to keep belly button infections at bay. It is a natural antiseptic and antibiotic agent that can heal as well as prevent infection.
- Prepare a paste with a little turmeric powder and water. Apply this paste on the affected area and leave it on until it dries. Wipe it off with a tissue and keep the area dry. Do this 2 or 3 times a day to reduce pain and prevent the infection from spreading.
- You can also mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and a little honey in a glass of hot milk. Drink it daily before going to bed to promote internal healing.

I think my belly button is infected i have a small red volume inside my belly button it is a little deap but i can see it withought stretching it too much and it does not hurt me and i do not have discusting fungus on my belly button also that volume has 2 or 3 small hairs on it is my belly button infected or is it sth else
I cleaned the inner bellybutton with soap and water in the shower daily. Then dried it inside thoroughly.
Then I used tea tree oil and neopsporin several times a day( intermittenly )that was applied with a qtip since my infection was deep into the belly button. It took about a week to 10 days to completely heal
i got some bad smell in my belly button and inserted my finger and found liquid with dust came out but my finger went little deep inside easily. earlier it will go only to some extent but this time due to smell and infected it went little more. my belly also grown compared to earlier. any issue? kidnly guide.
I use peroxide too. Does this not help? It seems to help me.
what if my belly button just itches really bad does that mean i have an infection even though the itch doesn’t happen all the time?
I treated my belly button infection by using pyodine (medical iodine) just in a day i was relieved. Use it w cotton bird.
I used the olive oil and tea tree oil for my Red irrataed navel. It worked fantastic! My navel was dark red and painful. No discharge that I saw. Think it happened due to wearing spanx and sweating. I used this mixture twice a day for 4 days and it completely cleared up. There was substantial improvement after one day. I highly reccomend this treatment
i did the rubbing alcahol thing and the warj water and sqlt thing seems to be working out and the warm cloth thing really minimizes the pain
My belly button is reddish black in colour how to get rid of this pls give me suggestion
I love how well this was said but my navel piercing is very much infected I’ve only had it a week. It just today put out a yellow pus but it did not smell. What do I do? I only use antibacterial hand soap
I injured my belly button over a year now but the injury still persists and it gets more painful,I’m scared what should I do
Having my bellybutton discharged yellowish like with unpleasant odor,it so itchy that i cant help myself scratch it.. hopefully these remedies would cure then..thanks for the information
Im sorry everyone, i dont have it but i feel bad 4u
After years and years of soreness and irritation I gave mine one topical treatment of CBD oil and the problem vanished over night. Two days later, it started to regress, so I gave it one more treatment and it hasn’t regressed again. Two treatments with CBD oil cured a problem chronic infection that I had had for 10 years. I don’t know whether this would work for anybody else, but I think it is definitely worth a try.
