Belly button

I never cleaned my naval and once I decided to do that I ve faced a hard pack, it was dark and it really seemed sth that collected for years there. I tried so hard for it. then searched the internet and found I should put baby-oil wait 10 minutes then work with ear-cleaner. but that hard mass didnt come out it had pain. now the day after I asked mom and she said after birth because your ambilical cord hadnt cut well the doc burned it. and now the day after I feel pain inside of my belly button and seems oil still is there and I fear if it will become infected as I feel pain when I lay on it or touch. what should I do? should I use any antibiotics? is there anything to worry about?please guide me

Keep an eye on it.  If you notice any discharge or the pain continues for more than a few days, go get it checked out, but I wouldn't be too worried so long as there has been no bleeding.

PLEASE ask your mom to take you to a doctor for this (make sure she knows that it causes you pain).  What you explain is NOT healthy, and could cause other problems like a virus entering your bloodstream.  Please do this as soon as you can.  Blessings - Blu
