I think I might pour some iodine in my belly button and let it sit a few minutes. You can practice balancing a mug on your belly. Iodine is hard on the skin and maybe between the original tick bite and the iodine, the skin might slough off enough to loosen the tick head. Also, it will kill anything the alcohol didn't. Anyway, loosen it up and maybe trying swishing it out with a cotton bud?

I have a small tick at the back end of my deep navel cavity. The area
is too small for tweezers. Having poured alcohol in there repeatedly I
am sure it is dead. Internet searches are inconclusive. Being loathe
to pay the local doctor unnecessarily I ask if any of you have
experience.
