Why is there sesame in the navel?

Navel sesame seeds may look like sesame seeds, but they are really garbage. The navel is indented, which makes it easier for debris to accumulate around it.

The navel is after the umbilical cord, which is no longer needed, is removed at birth. When the fetus was in the mother's belly, it absorbed oxygen and nutrients through the umbilical cord. When the fetus is born, the umbilical cord is cut off, leaving a scar-like indentation after its removal.
This is why the body dirt accumulates, and navel sludge is formed. It is a good idea to wash your navel carefully when you take a bath to prevent the accumulation of navel sesame seeds.
However, if you are overly concerned about it and pick at it with your fingernails, you must be careful because bacteria can enter through there.
