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.
I have this same discharge and smell in my belly button, however, the skin on the inside of the belly button split as if it were a surgical inscision. I went to see a doctor and was told that my umbilical cord was not tied off properly when I was born and it is leaking urine through the belly button.
