You've not been filling your belly button with salt/dip so you can dip Carrot sticks etc in to save on the washing up!!!

Not had it myself Dee but in seriousness, perhaps a sea salt rinse might help?

It is pretty easy to get a yeast infection in ye olde belly button. If it is a yeast infection keep an eye on your blood sugar. That was how i found out I was diabetic initially, yeast infection around the belly button. Itched like crazy.

That's a good tip, Bob.

Well with the Prednisone I know our blood sugar sometimes gets out of wack.

[Sangye]

Yes, and it predisposes us to developing diabetes (during pred use and later). Stinkin' pred.
