Redness inside Belly Button?


A belly button infection can cause redness inside of the belly button. There are several things that can cause a belly button infection, but this is not common. This is typically caused by a yeast infection, and would not be noticeable to people except for the fact that it hurts, and can cause a yellow discharge from the bellybutton. This is always something that should be evaluated by a doctor in case of a secondary infection. The bellybutton may be warm and swollen with this as well.
