I am wanting to know what may have caused a swollen, red and painful belly button. It is hot to the touch so I believe it could be an infection of some sort. I also believe it is something user the skin because the upper portion is bulging.

Are you asking about yourself or your child?

Myself. I am 24 and don't have any children.

Do you have a naval piercing?

I do not and never have

Did you find out what is was? I believe I am having the same issue!
