Dry Skin In Belly Button, Brown Patches, No Smell, Redness
I noticed some flakes in my belly button that looked like dry skin so I cleaned it out. I had someone look at it to make sure that it looked clean and they noticed a brown chunk at the bottom. When we tried to pull it out, thee was resistance. It seems to me that it is attached. Is that bad? I would like to note that there is no smell, redness, or liquid.
