Last night I noticed inside my belly button was very red & sore, followed by an itchy rash around it that spread out on my stomach area. Then I woke up this morn and noticed my abdomen is swollen. The swelling is what im very concerned with. I know there are MANY options of what this could be and yes I will make an appointment with my M.D. Asap but can you please narrow down what this could be by the symptoms i am experiencing ? Please and thank you so much

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore itchy rash on the stomach. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction, contact dermatitis, poor hygiene, discoid eczema , erythema nodosum or heat rash. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to rashes. You should apply petroleum jelly and protect them from sun exposure. Avoid itching or pricking rashes. Take anti histamine like benadryl twice a day . If condition does not get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment and antibiotics .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
