my baby is almost 5 months old and when i was pregnant with her i noticed that my belly button darkened and popped out.  i've recently noticed that on the inside of my belly button there are these gross looking dark brown scabs. they don't hurt or smell but won't bunge when i pick at them.  has anyone else had to deal with this? 

any suggestions would be wonderful!

thanks,

hi elisha.

my belly button also popped during my pregnancy.  it has pretty much returned to its original condition.  as for the darkening, it should fade with time.  i noticed that consistent cleaning/washing of the belly button also helped reduced the darkening.  the scabs might just be dry/crusty dead skin cells.  try to soak it or moisten with olive oil or baby oil.

hope this helps,
