I had a lap done on 10/20/03, and since then I noticed a cxircular
blueish hue dot on my belly button. do you think the endo has spread on
my belly button???
do you even think it is possible???

>>I have that problem now and again, my theory is that because I have a deep belly button dirt can get inside, dirt is bacteria, and bacteria can start to smell. So I got a cotton bud and put some germaline or savalon on it ( you can probably use any antiseptic cream) and i used it to clean inside my belly button. The smell went. My mum also had to problem and swears the germaline done the trick. use it every few months but be careful when putting a cotton bud in your smelly belly!! :)
