What Could Swollen, Tender And Painful Belly Button Indicate?
my belly button is swollen I believe it is very tender and hurts when I even just move it makes it very hard to sleep and function in general. Not to mention I tried sticking a Q Tip in too see if maybe it just needed to be clean and it wouldn t go inside too much and hurt upon touch. What is this ? is it just simple swelling ? and what can I do to start the healing process
