What can I put on to help cure and soothe the itch?

I have a sore in my belly button that has not healed for a few weeks. It itches, it's red and often a little crust forms. I once saw some stink that seemed to flow but it stopped quickly.

Hello,
Are you scratching the wound?

I try as much as possible not to, but it happens (I scratch around)

It may be an itchy feeling, but it is healing. You could try an over-the-counter antibiotic cream applied for a maximum of 7 days and if it doesn't heal, I would advise you to consult a doctor, since it has been going on for a few weeks already.
