The navel is a region of your body that is easy to ignore, so when you’re in the shower, pay particular attention to it. There could be foul repercussions if you don’t wash. However, a physician has cautioned that you should avoid more than simply the unpleasant odor.
Belly buttons
Dr. Geeta Yadav posted a video on TikTok with the message, “Is the area around your belly button smelling? You might, however, have a navel stone or umbolith. Do you wish to stop this? Kindly clean your belly buttons.”
An umbolith or omphalolith are other names for navel stones, according to WebMD. It is an ailment in which debris, dead skin cells, hair, sebum, and skin oil can all build up and solidify into a ball. Usually firm to the touch, the stone has a black hue. The navel entrance may have a big blackhead-like appearance.
Skincare expert Dr. Geeta Yadav advised “cleaning it with a Q tip, or with soap and water every day in the shower” if your belly button smells. Ignoring your belly button can also result in rashes, irritation, and infections, according to Dr. Ajayi-Sotubo, who spoke with Boots about this.
