I have the same problem.  I found athletes foot cream worked best.  It took the redness and soreness away.  Get one that treats and prevents them.  It helped me so much.  It still comes back every now and then, but it is so much better.

Ok Ladies! I got it figured out! The other night I was trying to figure out what to do with my belly button cuz it really turned red and was hurting and I'm pretty sure it was a fungus. My belly button has always smelled awful too.. and yes, I am overweight, I am quite certain it smells because it doesnt get much air.. so bacteria can easily grow.. anyways, I GOT THE CURE FOR BOTH! I tried the yogurt the first night, because I know that yogurt DOES help fight fungi... but it didnt seem any better the next day. so i figured i would treat it like i do with any heat rash that i get every once in a while.. I used CORN STARCH. It has been two days and it does not hurt anymore, nor is there any smell, which i didnt expect.. It is still red but i will continue using it until that clears too.. I took a shower, cleaned it out, dried it good, and dabbed a little cornstarch in the whole thing. it has worked like a charm. I hope it works well for all you ladies too!!!

Yes I do but I thought it was moths or carpet beetles. But I have intermitant tummy button problem, so this is interesting

Forty six years ago I told my doctor about mine. He inserted a huge q tip and said my navel never closed. Cleaned it out and said not to worry about
it. But I still have it never close.
