Would a pill medication be recommended to treat a fungal infection in the belly button?

Yes, there are oral medications that can be used to treat fungal infections. It is important to first confirm that the discharge you are experiencing is indeed caused by a fungus. I recommend consulting a doctor to have the discharge or redness analyzed and then treated based on the specific fungus present. It is crucial to be cautious when taking oral antifungals, as they can have serious side effects, particularly on the liver. Have a great day!
