Hi Ladies
I have a stomach which is worthy of an extreme makeover Tummy tuck (in fact I think mine is much worse than all the women I have seen on there!) You cant see my belly button because a rolly polly thing of stretched skin hangs over top. As a result, I have HORRIBLE skin rashes in and around my belly button. It weeps, and really stinks sometimes  I wash and dry it twice a day but nothing really helps. I have tried powder but it just ends up curdling 
Does anyone know what I can do/use? Anyone else share my horrible problem? ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

Oh you poor thing  A bit of hydrocortizone from the doc would probably clear that up, or you could try Tui Bee Balm (from Tweedle) or Xma-ease (from health shops) for natural alteratives. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

3B Action Cream may help? I use it between my legs when wearing skirts and it rocks. Worth a shot maybe?

Thanks ladies.
Its not really sore, its just awfully smelly. Its been like this since Janaya was born, but is much worse since I have lost weight. You'd think it would be the opposite? I wonder if that means Southern cross will pay for a tummy tuck?  ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

Sounds like a fungal infection to me. If you don't want to pay for a dr visit I'm sure a pharmasist could point you in thr right direction for over-th-counter meds. -------------

What about curash powder to keep it dry?
Dunno if med insurance would cover but always worth asking the Q. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Sounds fungal to me too. I occasionally get fungal infections in my belly button too.
If you don't want to see the doctor who can do a swab to confirm what it is, as Chickoin said your pharmacist will be able to suggest something. |
