“Boil under belly button. Can it cause an internal infection?”
I had an ingrown hair removed but now it has turned into a large, red boil that is hard to touch. Can this cause an internal infection?

Normally, no. This is external to intra-abdomen.

It sounds like you have folliculitis with a follicular abscess. Treatment for this is surgical drainage. You should go see your primary doctor or a surgeon.
