finbarrio Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hey JW - nice to have you back btw. I'm betting it was a pimple - probably just looks different from a face pimple because of location. Any pus or oil to go along with the blood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 JW - there are usually free "ask-a-nurse" numbers at hospitals that you can call. There are also similar things available online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have a huge belly button phobia .. stemming from heaven knows where, but even the title of this thread made me shiver !! I don't think I've met anyone with a bellybutton phobia beforePerhaps (if you have an "innie" ) it's a fear of finding foreign matter in there. or fear of bellyshots? hmmmm this could be a thread on it's own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've been putting a medicated ointment on and it seems to be healing a bit and reducing in size. Hopefully it will disappear and I won't have to worry about some overzealous doctor wanting to cut it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 JW is proud to announce that the strange bellybutton thingy has all but disappeared!!! I am however, intrigued by all these bellybutton phobias.I've never given my bellybutton a 2nd thought. The mesh thing is a little disconcerting though.....

How did you get so many Hernias? reason? My dad had a hernial operation around 5-6 years back. A friend of mines mom has one coming up. They to a large extent it is also 'hereditary' Are there things that one should and should not do to prevent hernias later in life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I sometimes worry about my bellybutton coming undone. I know it is an illogical thing to think about because it probably just can't happy. But it would suck if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I figure it would be easy access to do a manual cleanse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
