Navel cleaning

Prepare the umbilical cord cleaner. Of course, you need to prepare cotton swabs. However, there is no fixed umbilical cord cleaning kit. Instead, you need to use a multitude of tools. You should try it out for yourself to see which tool works best for you. You can use:
- Water
- Baby oil
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Other astringents, such as witch hazel

Dip one end of the cotton swab in the solution of your choice, then rub the tip around your navel. Gently rub around the navel and avoid scrubbing deep into the navel.

Throw away the old cotton swab and repeat the cleaning process with a new one if the navel is still dirty. It only takes 1-2 wipes to clean the navel. After wiping, you should use a clean gauze to gently wipe off any remaining solution on the navel. You should make sure to wipe off water, baby oil, hydrogen peroxide or Isopropyl alcohol
- If the navel is dry, you can apply some Neosporin ointment around the navel. Slowly apply in a circle and go to the middle of the navel, then wipe off the medicine with gauze.
Regular care for navel
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1f/Clean-Your-Belly-Button-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-Your- Belly-Button-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1f/Clean-Your-Belly-Button-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-Your-Belly-Button-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
If you want to take care of your belly button after piercing, you should soak it with salt water first. Removing the navel piercing is not a good thing because that’s when bacteria and other infectious agents get inside the navel. Also, sometimes it only takes 10-15 minutes for the navel piercing to start to stick again. And even if the navel piercing doesn’t fully reattach, you’ll be in excruciating pain when you put it back on. You should not remove a new navel piercing until it has completely healed, has blood or pus, or has scabs on the jewelry. If you have a navel piercing, you should pull the belly button up as high as possible and then soak it in salt water. Make sure to use a clean paper towel dipped in salt water and wipe off the scabs from the navel before doing this to avoid pain. You should make sure to use SEA salt. Iodized salt (table salt) cannot prevent infection. If the navel piercing is infected, you should not remove the jewelry to avoid the infection from penetrating deep inside and causing a bad situation. See your doctor right away if your navel piercing is infected. [1] X Research Source

Carefully dry the navel after bathing. Too much water and humidity can promote harmful bacteria growth. Keep in mind that the navel is home to more than 1500 beneficial bacteria [2] X Source of research and you should try to keep harmful bacteria out.

Remember that it’s not always a good idea to clean your navel regularly. As long as you bathe regularly and use the right soap to clean in and around your belly button, you shouldn’t have to worry about it getting dirty. The navel is not like a tooth and does not require constant monitoring. You can also liken the navel to a quiet brother who likes to stay in his room all day and prepare his own meals.
Advice
- If the navel has a bad smell and is red, you should use an umbilical cord cleaner specifically designed for sensitive skin or a feminine hygiene solution. The most common cause of belly button odor is cleaning the navel with soap and not rinsing it with water, so the skin will be dry and irritated.
- You can also use a Q-tip – a branded cotton swab to clean the navel.
- The navel is a healthy and closed area on the abdomen. Nothing can enter your body through the navel. You can consult your doctor if you are concerned about the hygiene of the navel.
- Using hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol as well as cotton swabs can cause damage to open wounds if not careful. Instead, use antibacterial soap and warm salt water. You can also try antibiotic ointment.
- You can also use a moisturizing wax for the navel. After applying moisturizing wax, wait 5-20 minutes, then wipe off with a tissue. Moisturizing wax residue is easy to wipe off.
- Perfume may contain alcohol, but you should not use it to clean your navel to avoid a rash.
Warning
- Call your navel piercer immediately if something goes wrong with your piercing. If you are afraid of an infected piercing, the person you need to contact is the piercer, not a friend, because they are NOT experts.
- See a doctor right away if you accidentally injure your navel during cleaning.
- See your doctor if your belly button is itchy or burning to avoid the risk of infection.
- Do not use sharp or dirty objects to clean the navel.
- Be careful when cleaning the navel. Punching the umbilicus can cause pain and damage to the navel.
- If you have a navel piercing, you should follow the instructions of the piercer. Jewelry beads pose a risk of cracking or crumbling when exposed to alcohol, even with a small amount of mouthwash.
- Keep alcohol and cotton swabs out of reach of children.
Things you need
- Cotton swab
- Warm water/baby oil
