The belly button is not only a part of the body, but also an observer of physical health. Of course, it is a place that needs to be cleaned. So why can't you pick the belly button? How to clean the belly button?

Why can't you pick your belly button?

Adults always emphasize that belly buttons should not be picked. We always hear that picking belly buttons will cause this or that, and it seems like the consequences are very serious. But for people who love cleanliness, a dirty belly button really affects their image! Why can't we pick our belly buttons?

The belly button is the end of the intestine. Due to the daily metabolism of the human body, certain waste is not excreted immediately, and accumulates at the end of the intestine, thus forming dirt. I suggest that when taking a bath, you just rinse with clean water, and do not scrub it. This is not good for your health, and it is easy for dirt to enter the body, causing infection and causing many diseases.

Dirt can easily accumulate in the belly button, and if it is not cleaned in time, it may produce odor. It is not impossible to use your fingers to pick out the dirt in your belly button, but you must not use too much force because the skin of the belly button is very thin. Picking the belly button may cause redness or inflammation of the skin. If you want to wipe off the dirt in the belly button, just wipe it gently with a towel dipped in warm water. There are many nerve centers connected to the belly button, so the epidermis of the belly button is very sensitive, resulting in uncomfortable adverse reactions after touching. This only happens to some people. Most people rarely experience such persistent pain, and once infected, it is easy to infect the abdominal cavity. Do not pick it, otherwise it is easy to be scratched and cause inflammation, which may cause stomach pain, vomiting, and other symptoms.

How to clean the belly button

The belly button is a place where dirt and filth accumulate. A little dirt inside can maintain the normal temperature of the belly button. Otherwise, if it is too clean, the heat will dissipate quickly and the gastrointestinal function will be damaged. It can be said that umbilical cord feces are the representative of "clean emissions".

But if there is really too much and you really want to remove it, be gentle. If your belly button is shallow, you can just wash it with water; if it is deep and dirt is easily accumulated in the folds inside, then use a cotton swab to apply some shower gel or soap to wash it. After washing, rinse off the soap and then wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent towel to keep it dry and clean. You can also scrub it with peanut oil. After taking a shower, put a little oil on cotton and gently wipe your navel. It has the effect of preventing diseases.

It should be noted that when cleaning the belly button, you should not use force or pick it with your hands, and your movements should be gentle. Since the navel should not be exposed to cold, it is recommended to use warm water when washing the navel and wipe it promptly after washing. It is not advisable to expose the navel and stomach to cold for a long time.

Tip: In summer, people sweat a lot and dirt on their body can easily enter the navel and be deposited with sweat. Use warm water and neutral shower gel to scrub the area around the navel and the navel every day to remove dirt and prevent the growth of bacteria. But do not rub it hard to avoid hurting the skin and causing infection.

Okay, that’s all about the belly squeeze. My friends, you all know it now. Don’t squeeze your belly easily and don’t use too much force.
