Causes of a Smelly Belly Button As the belly button is a warm and moist area, it is susceptible to bacteria overgrowth and resulting infections. This can cause belly button discharge and an unpleasant smell.
Answer: Most naval/belly buttons don't smell, so that may be a problem in itself. Usually, these infections are yeast infections or non-specific vaginal flora that takes over. Culture and antibiotics are the treatment, both require a visit to your md. You can buy otc antifungal preps for your vagina(monospot and the like) and may be worth a trial, but these usually itch/pain more than smell.
