Dont use hydrogen peroxide Use oil to clean Dont poke in the belly button Just put oil

Proper cleaning of the area is required. Daily while taking bath, clean those areas. If there is constant accumulation of dirt or cotton in that area, further infection can occur. To prevent that make sure frequent cleansing is required.

If you are not successful in removing cotton , consult a physician in your area,as hydrogen peroxide is unlikely to clear

Just take it with clean hand

Hi 👋 You’re right to be cautious — the belly button (navel) is a small cavity where lint, sweat, and cotton fibers easily collect, and if not cleared correctly, it can lead to infection or abscess formation. Since you’ve had an infection there in the past, it’s wise to manage this carefully. Why this happens Cotton or lint from clothing gets trapped in the deep folds of the navel, especially if the belly button is deep or hairy. Natural body oils and dead skin hold it in place, making it difficult to remove just by washing. Scratching or poking can injure the skin and trigger infection. Safe steps to remove the cotton (do this gently) 1. Warm saline soak: Mix 1 tsp salt in a glass of warm water. Soak a clean cotton ball in it and hold it over your belly button for 10–15 minutes — this softens the trapped cotton. 2. Use gentle irrigation: After soaking, gently flush the area using a syringe or dropper with clean lukewarm water or saline. Avoid inserting ear buds or metal objects — they can push debris deeper. 3. Hydrogen peroxide (only if needed): You may use a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide if the cotton is tightly stuck — it helps loosen fibers by bubbling. After 2–3 minutes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft towel. 4. Dry and protect: Apply a few drops of antiseptic solution (like Betadine or Savlon) if there was minor irritation. Keep the area completely dry afterward to prevent bacterial growth. Don’t do this: Don’t dig or scrape with sharp tools. Don’t apply creams or oils afterward — moisture keeps the area prone to infection. Avoid tight synthetic clothing until fully clear. When to seek review: If you notice pain, redness, foul smell, pus, or swelling, that means early infection — which needs short-course antibiotics and professional cleaning (usually a 5-minute OPD procedure). Summary: Warm saline soak → gentle rinse → antiseptic drying. Hydrogen peroxide can help if used carefully, but never insert anything deep. Keep the area dry and lint-free going forward. If you’d like, I can guide you step-by-step with a photo review — to check whether the cotton is superficial or needs safe removal under light cleaning. I can also help you choose the right antiseptic and antibiotic if any mild infection starts. Message me on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six — I’ll personally review your case and tell you exactly how to clear it safely at home without causing irritation or injury.
