Ok, so when I took a shower I noticed there was a red ring inside my bellybutton. It doesnt hurt, itch or anything. There is no discharge either. I tried to search on the internet for a possible answer and got nothing. i put some zinc oxide on it (for rashes) since it kind of looks like that. Looks like if my skin just peeled off there. could it be caused byheat? anyone know what this may be and what I can do about it? Its freakin me out! Thanks!

It could be caused by infection or yeast. Keep bellybutton clean and dry. Use a little antibiotic cream and a little yeast/fungus cream together and apply. This should clear it up. Hairdryer works great to help dry areas like the bellybutton.
