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?
The dark side of piercing that nobody talks about...
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.
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.
you should get that checked out!
and maybe you should clean it better
try a friggin shower
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.
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.
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.
