I recently lost 35kgs (go me!) and would still love to lose another 10kgs but since i lost weight i have had a problem with my belly button getting thrush in it . does this happen to anyone else? i always make sure its dry but it still seems to happen.

Could be dermatitis What about using abit of that peroxide stuff you can get from chemists that can be put on the skin. I used it when I was a teenager & got my belly button pierced to kepp it clean & dry, or a alcohol based product.

Sorry Im not much help but just trying to think of things that will dry the skin IYKWIM.

ETA CONGRATULATIONS on your weightloss, thats an amazing effort & you should be very proud

Holy Moly, well done! That is so amazing, you must feel so proud of yourself.

I've lost 7kgs in 2 months. Am hoping to lose another 7kgs before Xmas...

What about putting some Curash powder in there to keep it dry etc?

OP, I really have no idea.

Mine doesn't get thrush, but it kinda gets a bit gross from time to time. I too lost 35kg a while ago (and could still do with more!), and THAT weightloss, teamed with a saggy post-pregnancy stomach has meant a very very deep belly button.

I just clean it out with a cotton bud every day. I figure it's just like the rolls on a baby... they get dirty and sweaty and smelly... you just gotta do your best to dry and clean them out.
