Belly button pain on ibrutinib

[cartwheels]

Had a tender belly button for the last day not terrible just tender to touch wondered if it could be a side effect of ibrutinib I get the aches in joints etc but they only last a day or 2 then go but not experienced a tender belly button before anyone else

HI, it may be some kind of staph or fungal infection due to lowered immunity. Be careful not to spread it around. Try some antibiotic cream or antifungal cream. If not better call dr.

Good luck,

agreed - that was my first thought - fungal or possibly bacterial.

and my second thought (ask doctor)!
