question: Hi, I am having pretty bad pain inside my belly button after having used my pinky to scratch an itch a couple days ago. I have an innie and cannot see inside my bellybutton at all. I know I didn t scratch it with my nail. It just hurts to the touch, feels as though it s bruised around the belly button area. Is it possible to get an infection in your belly button? Or to tear the belly button skin inside or behind it?
