The navel is a mark left by cutting the umbilical cord. In the case of babies, great care is taken about their hygiene, they are cleaned regularly and lubricated with balms. Adults don’t pay as much attention to it anymore, which is a pity. Many people completely ignore the navel when bathing and do not take any care of it. In this way, various impurities accumulate in it.
What accumulates in the navel? This is a real breeding ground for bacteria
Most navels have a cavity in which sweat, dirt, dead skin and fragments of materials accumulate. It’s the perfect place for bacteria to grow because it’s dark and moist. If the navel is not cleaned regularly, an infection may develop inside. – Due to the shape of the navel, hair, dirt and epidermis can accumulate in this place and form natural jewelry, i.e. navel stone. It is smelly and can cause infections – explained Dr. Karan Rajan in an interview with “”. This problem most often affects people who do not take care of themselves, have a deep navel or are very overweight.
How to care for an adult’s belly button? A product from the pharmacy will help
It is best to use gentle, natural and antibacterial agents to clean the navel. Dr. Rajan advises against using alcohol-based preparations, which can dry and irritate the skin. You can use a cotton bud to reach every nook and cranny. After you finish washing, remember to wipe your navel dry. Otherwise, dirt may accumulate there again. You can also use tea tree oil for your navel. You can buy it in any pharmacy and it costs about PLN 10. Just put a few drops on a cotton pad and wash the navel thoroughly. Coconut oil will also work very well. – Such thorough cleaning of the navel should be performed once a week – added Dr. Tosin Ajayi-Sotubo.
