you have much self luv... good for you!

I find it satisfying to gouge out the depths of my navel with a matchstick. This would be a perfect pastime except for the fact I get shooting pains in my bum-hole if I dig too deep.

It is very possible that you have a fungal growth in your belly button. It's actually not that uncommon and can be treated with a lotion type thing. I advise you go to your doctor, they can clear it up. And no I am not bein sarcastic, I am being quite serious since my friend had the same problem and one day decided to ask her doctor.

Could just be a hygienic thing ... belly buttons can accumulate sweat and bacteria. Wash it daily, and don't forget to rinse and dry it thoroughly.

Wipe it out with a bit of mild astringent on a cotton pad too if you like. The creases surrounding and behind the ears can also get like this.

well my sister has the same exact problem and i think its normal. and strangely she likes how it smells. i smelled it a few times and nearly died. it was BAD!! completly normal. maybe clean it or something. or get deoderant for it

Yeah i have the same prob i always thought it was my stomach leaking.

sounds like a bacterial infection..inner belly buttons often get warm and are subject to all sort of nasties...can produce nasty smells and puss. treat with savlon cream or canesten cream twice a day using a cotton bud until the symptoms disappear. the antiseptic should kill off the bacteria. clean using a cotton bud too to prevent the bacteria growing back.
