Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Rash what you are experiencing around the navel area is due to reaction due to heat. You can prevent it by applying moisturizer cream or lotion and Calamine lotion to soothe the skin and prevent it from happening. Also, you can take antihistamine medication like Loratidine for its prevention.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
