Absolutely all human beings have a navel, that small hole that just adorns our abdomen and that, like any other part of our body, needs grooming and care, otherwise you could have terrible consequences.
This was evidenced on TikTok by a British doctor named Karan Rajan (@dr.karanr), who through a video that many consider disgusting and disgusting, demonstrates what happens to the navel if it is not washed frequently.
In his video, Dr. Rajan shared a clip of a woman helping to clean her husband’s navel when he began to complain that it “hurt” and was surprised when after scratching deep, pulled out a small, filament-like mass.
The doctor indicates that sweat, dead skin cells, oils, fabric residues, bacteria and even food can accumulate in the navel, so if it is not cleaned it can generate different secretions that and can lead to a dangerous infection.
When people do not wash their navel, inside it, according to Rajan, “jewels” are formed; that is, all that dirt petrifies, forming a small rock that lodges inside. They can be of various colors, although they are usually black or light brown.
Lack of washing in this area can also cause fungal infections, according to Healthline, because they usually occur in moist and dark areas of the body.
Surely after you see it, you won’t forget to wash your navel when you go to the shower.
