I have mild irritation around the navel. What medicines to take?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The irritation around the navel area is most likely due to fungal infection, especially if associated with itchiness and redness. So, please provide me with a clear photo and tell me if there is itchiness or redness.

A local antifungal cream will be suitable after confirming the diagnosis. The other (less likely) diagnosis is scabies.

Is there any irritation in other places of the body? Any other family members with same problem?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

From what you mentioned, it is most likely a mild fungal infection that caused this irritation. A local application of Clotrimazole 2 % cream twice daily for one week will improve it. Keep this area dry most of the time.

Please provide me with pictures, if possible. Is there anyone in the family with a similar problem?

Best wishes.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have checked the attached photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is mild with no redness or active lesions.

You can find the Clotrimazole cream under the name of Canesten cream. Use only for one week.

You can travel with no problems at all.
