What Is a Belly Button Infection?

A belly button infection occurs when bacteria or yeast overgrow in the warm, moist environment of your navel. This leads to redness, itching, discharge, and sometimes an unpleasant odor.
Most infections are mild and treatable with proper hygiene and medication. However, without treatment, the infection can worsen or spread. Glow Primary Care offers same-day evaluation and treatment for belly button infections in East Northport.

Can’t say enough good things about glow wellness. Dr. Khan hooked me up to an NAD+ drip and the process was simple and painless and I feel great. Also went into the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Love wellness and preventive health. Beautiful business, clean, organized and will keep coming and trying different wellness drips and therapies with friends.
