My DS constantly has a yellow crust/scab that develops over his belly button. It breaks up and rubs away or I clean it off in the bath but it comes back. I asked the nurse at his 2 month check-up about it but she didn't know what it was. She said to use methylated spirits to dry it up but my hubby is a nurse and he said not to.
I took DS to the GP last week as his belly button had started to smell and was surrounded by redness, he gave me an antibiotic cream which has taken the redness and smell away but the scab keeps coming back again and again.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there anything you can do to make it go away?
Thanks
