Hello and thanks for your question. It sounds like you may have a small cyst around your navel that gets inflamed around the time of your period. The best thing to do is to clean around your navel every day with a q-tip and alcohol. Hopefully this will keep the area dry and avoid future infections. If it persists you may need to see a surgeon to have the cyst area removed. Thank you for using HCM.
