A man has had to go through a gruesome procedure to remove a navel stone from his belly button after apparently neglecting caring for that part f his body for some time.
The navel stone being removed from the man's belly button
A truly disgusting video has emerged, showing the moment a man has a navel stone pulled from his belly button.
The horrifying clip shows the man lying on his back while his partner uses a pair of tweezers to dig a dark mass out of his belly button. As she pulls it out, the true size of the stone is revealed and she lays it on the man's stomach.
Speaking to her partner, the woman says: "Oh my God, that is so freaking disgusting! What is that?"
She then asks him if there's anything left in his belly button before giving up the gruesome procedure.
The video was uploaded to YouTube by Heather Price on February 8 and has since had several thousand views.
According to Mirror Onine, navel stones are also known as omphaloiths or umboilths and are masses made up of sebum and keratin deposition that oxidises into a solid, black accretion.
The Dermatologist website says: "For many people, a direct relationship to personal hygiene has been shown: omphaloiths occure in people who are neglectful about cleaning, or are unable to clean regularly.
"The stones do not usually cause problems unless they become infected or inflamed and may go unnoticed for years."
