Everyone has a navel, but most people treat it negligently during everyday washing. This is a serious mistake! The navel is a hole in the body in which, like in any other, can accumulate, inter alia, various secretions, dead skin or bacteria. Falling back in time is a straightforward pathway to infection.
The navel is a scar at the midpoint of the abdomen that remains after the umbilical cord falls off. When a baby is born, there is a stump left behind when the baby is cut. After some time it dries up and comes off by itself. In the place where the umbilical cord was, the navel is being formed.
The doctor calls: wash your navels. His recording makes a sensation on the web
Dr. Karan Raj, who has been running his channel on TikTok for some time, decided to use the huge reach on the Internet and appeal to people to clean their navels regularly. It is worth noting that currently the doctor’s profile is observed by slightly more than 4,6 million people from all over the world.

The doctor published a video on his TikTok, which shows a woman cleaning her husband’s navel, who asked her to do it himself. Why? Because he started to feel pain in his navel. Imagine the woman’s surprise when she took out a hard mass of irregular shape and dark color with tweezers.
«All holes in the body can collect sweat, dead skin, various secretions, oily secretions, fragments of materials and bacteria »- explains Dr. Karan Raj on the recording, directly emphasizing that the lack of regular hygiene of the navel is a simple path to infection.
But that’s not all. The doctor notes that if various materials accumulate in the navel, they stick together at some point, hardening and creating something like a stone. Such a mass can take various colors, most often it is brown and black. And that’s exactly what the author of the recording on TikTok took out of her husband’s navel.
