The pain, tenderness and redness inside
the belly button is probably some kind of
skin inflammation which can be due to
either an infection, irritation or
allergy. It doesn’t seem likely that
abdominal distension and menstrual
irregularities are in any way connected to
the belly button problem. In this case,
you can consult a dermatologist to examine
the skin. Nonetheless, you can consult a
gynecologist about your menstrual cycle
irregularities and lower abdominal
problems because those two symptoms can be
connected.
