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.

These usually cause a chronic or persistent set of symptoms associated with abdominal pain.
