Stinky Bellybutton

Every so often my bellybutton starts to stink and if I stick my finger in there I find this goo which smells absolutely disgusting. Even after cleaning it out daily it takes a week or two for it to go away. Sometimes it gets so bad I can smell it through my shirt and it crusts up around the rim of my bellybutton. Sometimes I'll stick a little wad of toilet paper in there to soak up the juice and keep the stink from spreading.

I know it's gross, but Is this normal?

piercing?
If you've got a piercing, then yes, they get stinky. You have to be fanatic about cleaning them, or they'll get gooey and gross.

The dark side of piercing that nobody talks about...

Oh My!
You might have an infection, especially if you have crust! In that case you might need to see a doctor. Keep it clean daily, try peroxide and antibiotic ointment. No belly button should smell so bad that it stinks through clothing.

me too
I have a belly button ring, and the exact same thing happens to me. No, it's not an infection, and I'm really thin so it's not from "being a fatty". I think it's because something is blocking it from drying properly when you get out of the shower, etc. I use a q-tip to dry it out. Try that

You need to take a shower more ofen and use that stuff they call SOAP...and make sure you dry it out with a towel when your done with your shower

Is it sperm?
Sounds like a recurring infection. Go see a doctor.

It's Normal
I had the same thing happen to me quite often and I got it looked at at the doctor's during a check-up. I was told that it was because of a soap and water build up. The smell usually occurs if there is sweat mixed in with the soap and water residue. It has nothing to do with a piercing, but it makes sense that people with piercings have it happen since they need to keep their bellybutton area clean.
Norita Farrell has a Dorito smelling bellybutton
My bellybutton secretes a sharp, cheesy smell like x-tra cheesy DORITO's
norita
My wife had the same problem and the smell was horrid..sometimes it affected our love life. her doctor insisted it was a yeast infection but she rarely drinks beer or eats bread. while entertaining guests after a church outing i realized we had no cheese for the crackers and wine--sounds crazy but i used a butter knife to her navel and introduced it to my brethren as a "secret pate'" -needless to say the members of our church loved it and are always asking me for the recipe. so maybe you can use it to your advantage.
Notita Farrell is DORITO

you are disgusting, I thought this site was to get advise not to be joked about. Asshole
I guess you should'nt eat Pizza with your shirt off and not have the decency to dig out the mozzarella and pepperoni that drops in there. Maybe get a dog to help you clean that junk up!
My belly button stinks too...I bathe everyday and wash it out everyday with soap and water and use peroxide and q tips daily but I can still smell it when I 'm sitting or standing I know that smell, because I have stuck my finger in it and sniffed it to see if that was what it was I was smelling, it kind of smells like my feet and my private area, seems all my orfaces smell alike except my mouth and ears. I do not understand what the problem is. Maybe it's because I am over weight and my guts are coming out or my intestines are backing up because I stay constipated...I don't know but it is getting on my nerves.

Hi.. StinkyBB

I came here because I had the same problem as you, I ended up with the same sentiments as you, I even signed up to post this, cannot guarantee more posts though.

You quoted someone as being an Ars*hole, you were too kind to them, I read some of your previous posts, you were too kind to them as well.

From what I see this thread is a waste of time, from the other threads I read they are a waste of time too. Either this site needs moderating or taking off line, it serves no purpose except to let kids and idiots type a load of garbage (Apologies to the (About 5%) sensible replies)

I would suggest to anyone who might have a genuine enquiry as to a health problem that they seek advice elsewhere as this does not seem the place to get it.

At the end of the day, I wish you the best of luck with your problem, if you do find an answer I would be pleased to hear it.

Kind regards to the sensible replyees, as for the rest, euthanasia is your best option.
HAHA. Okay. I have no idea what to tell you about your smelly blowhole. BUT, this by far, is the funniest shit I have ever read. Basically all the responses you have gotten, are fuckin GREAT. I laughed so hard I swallowed my gum. I loveee it.
Actually ....it could be a yeast Infection.

you should get that checked out!

and maybe you should clean it better
you are nastaaaaaaaaay

try a friggin shower
pig
try harvesting that cheese for some RITZ crackers
I also have a stinky bellybutton.I wated help, I searched google "My bellybutton smells" and found this. I get the crust around my bellybutton too, I am overweight, my family and friends call me 'stinkhole', I'd have liked to have found a cure on this site, come one does anyone have any tips?
I think it is due to overweight.
All of you who are posting stupid comments must be retarded teenagers. You have no idea what real life is like and you are in for a rude awakening when/if you ever grow up. I have had this problem as well and believe me when I say that I am a clean person. I shower at least once a day but some things are beyond my control. I just hope that one day you will learn to have some respect for other human beings.
im a clean person too and have also had this problem!!

if ur belly button smells or has any sort of dicharge/weeping, it's more than likely a bacterial infection. inner belly buttons get warm and moist in heat and are subject to all nasties...

it's best to use savlon antiseptic cream (to kill the bacteria), or canesten cream...apply twice a day using a cotton bud. if u find it hard cleanin the area, try cleaning using a cotton bud too.
Try cleaning it out with hydrogen peroxide.
a few times ive stuck my finger in my belly button to find a smelly substance on the end of my finger afterwards.
however if you hold your nose and then lick the goo from your finger you will be surprised at how much it tastes like chicken.
dont believe me? then try it.
I would like to end this rubbish for everyone. Please find below the guidelines to follow if you have this problem!

It may be caused by a number of reasons, it is down to the individuals body.

If you have redness, inflammation (swelling), and/or a yellowish discharge inside or around your belly button, follow these simple guidelines for 2-3 days:

try not to pick or scratch the affected area,
clean your belly button gently with salt water twice a day, and
dry it carefully but thoroughly after washing.
If after a few days you still have the same symptoms, you should see your GP so that they can investigate the cause of the irritation. If you have an infection your GP may prescribe a course of antibiotics.

Hope this helps everyone who needs it.
i've just had a keyhole operation ,my bellybutton stinks,docter said its fine no infection so gonna take ur advice.thanx
