I thought this only happened to newborns...
I believe I have an infected belly-button. When I look in there, I see scabs, and when I clean it with alcohol/hydrogen peroxide, the Q-tip always brings out some fresh and not so fresh blood. Anyone know what I can do to counter-affect this thing, besides cleaning it with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide?

Weird. I would make sure you kept it clean. wash it well, keep using the alcohol/hp, and be gentile with it (you don’t want to irritate it any further). If it doesn’t go away with in a couple of days or gets any worse, I would go to see a doctor about it.
I had a zit on the back of my neck a couple of weeks back. I popped it and it got all swelled up and infected. I went to the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics, it was all better in 3 days. |
yah, it is most likely not bleeding because of the same things that cause infants to bleed. keep it clean, and if it continues to give you problems go see a doctor. also, if you are running a fever... see a doc.

You probably got an abrasion in there and friction keeps the cuts from healing. Make sure you wash carefully and frequently to keep it clean so it doesn't get infected.
|
As long as it stays clean, it should heal over a resonable amount of time. If not, I would go see a doctor. You have have some type of infection, that needs further treatment.
|
Do you have your belly button pierced? Go get it checked out. I don't know why people are so afraid to see a doctor. Once you find out what it is, post back letting us know.

After cleaning, apply an antibiotic ointment- polysporin, neosporin. Do it 3 times a day.
