Belly button problems and other skin problem.
by shell, Mar 11, 2001 12:00AM
Have two problems first one is my belly button. It gets extremely itchy, then I notice it is all red and irritated, there may be a yellowish dried small amount of drainage in it and the odor if a put a finger in it and smell is like soured milk. Could this be a yeast infection? I notice I get this every winter. Help! What do I use OTC to get it better?
Next problem - I got a itchy small reddish looking spots, sort of like pimples between my breasts. I notice that my bra irritates it also. What is this and again what do I use? Thanks

Shell:
The navel may indeed be yeats. Try 1% clotrimazole (OTC) and see if that helps. If not, try 1% hydrocortisone (also OTC). If both fail try a doc.
As for the chest pimles, sounds like sweat retention. Powder should do ot (any brand.)
Best.
