Assistant: In order to maintain healthy skin in and around the belly button, it is recommended to practice regular bather with water and a mild soap, and to regularly wipe the skin surrounding the belly button clean with a soft cloth or tissue.  In addition, accumulation of excess skin or dead cells around the belly button (a condition known as “dimples” of the belly button) can sometimes form as a result of routine bathing or skin care practices.  In general, this condition is harmless and can be easily treated with regular washing, using astringents or chemical peels.  However, rarely there can be a more serious underlying skin condition causing dimples of the belly button, in which case it is recommended to seek the advice of a dermatologist.

Assistant: The most effective, hygienic methods for cleaning the belly button are to use soap and water with gentle rubbing in a circular motion, and to carefully use an antiseptic cleaning wipe or solution.

In many cases, regular cleaning of the belly button is sufficient to avoid serious infections or odor problems, however it is recommended to see a doctor if any unusual symptoms occur.
