Comments on: Does Your Belly Button Stink?……Update http://trailerparkbarbie.wordpress.com/2008/02/05/does-your-belly-button-stink/ Life of Dysfunctional WTWM (White Trash With Money) Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:58:26 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: trailerparkbarbie http://trailerparkbarbie.wordpress.com/2008/02/05/does-your-belly-button-stink/#comment-8114 trailerparkbarbie Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:09:03 +0000 http://trailerparkbarbie.wordpress.com/?p=525#comment-8114 Thank you for posting that, drkrug! You are right about poking around at it. Whenever, I stick a Q-tip or even the end of a wash clothe in my belly button, it becomes red and irritated. Once, I got the ingenious idea to soak cotton balls in peroxide and stick one in my belly button. Then I put surgical tape over it. BOY....it bubbled up like a mini-volocano. And, then it got red and irritated. So, for the most part, since I've been aware of my stinky belly button for the most part of my life, I just wash it and leave it alone. I will try your salt suggestion. I'll let you know how it worked. Thanks! Thank you for posting that, drkrug! You are right about poking around at it.

So pleased to discover this site - I remember looking this up several years ago and found nothing! I have suffered with smelly belly button for several years, since I was at least 14 (I'm 26 now) and I hate it!!! Sometimes I can smell it hanging around me and I worry like hell that someone will realise it's coming from me and think I am dirty (I am not). This problem has just recurred for me - it actually went away for a while (actually a few years) after I put salt down there for a few mins then had a bath. It totally worked! It's the warm, moist environment making a perfect place for bacteria/fungi. Makes it itchy and if you scratch the skin is so thin it will crack a bit and you can get a secondary infection in the skin which makes it all red and sore. (I am a doctor btw, in england). I try to never put my finger or anything else down there because of the risk of introducing bacteria. I am definitely going to get the salt out now and put it down there before I get the red sore skin! I would suggest, if you don't enjoy having this problem, like some of you seem to(!), try salt, and if that doesn't work go to your doctor and get a swab done, and get antibiotics for whatever grows. And don't poke it! Also be aware that any lumps or bumps could be cysts which can be sorted, and a lot of pus or even urine coming out of the belly button could be a urachal deformity left over from birth (a tract or duct which doesn't close properly) and this can be fixed surgically. There is also a very small chance that this could be a cancer so anything that seems new or more unusual than a small amount of pus or smelly fluid should probably be investigated.

I am glad I have company in this issue. I have a T shaped belly button its pretty deep too i guess. Before I ever even noticed that it smelled (I'm not a scratch and sniff kind of person) I notice that when I shower I usually just let the soap run off my belly button rather actually scrubbing it and washing it and all that. I eventually found out it does smell like ass or something. Since I was a teenager I make it a huge point to 1- wash my belly button 2- use q tip to dry it out and then 3- spray or dip a q tip in perfume and make it smell good and 4-use baby powder. Most people who know I do this find this odd but I don't know Its like I HAVE TO DO THIS! Besides it really only takes like 2 minutes. I think it smell like ass because it is alike in many ways, really-- its deep, round, wrinkly, and inside your body. This is so funny. I am glad I have company in this issue.

The deeper your belly button, the more stank and cleaning issues you're going to have with it. However, it is completely normal, you should get it checked out though, sometimes doctors can give you some cream to keep it clean and take the infection away, and that's how people have found cancer, too. And I guess some scientists say that if you keep the hair around your belly button shaved or get a piercing, it actually minimizes your stank problems and infections...just a thought. :) i find that my belly button smells like rotten fruit punch mixed with bleach. ugh. disgusting, i even managed to clean the whole thing out and pulled out what looks like a white tick (which it is not). i did google it cuz i was concerned, and i found a few websites that say that it can often be a fungi infection, and i guess the belly button is a perfect place for it to grow cuz it’s damp and warm, sometimes it can be cancer, and sometimes it can be from just repetitively cleaning it.

I never get sick so thought it was nothing, but was finally convinced to go to the doctor by my spouse. My doctor knew right away that it was a hernia and needed surgery. It's probably not a serious one (mine wasn't) but can worsen without treatment. We never did figure out how I got it. Please, go to the doctor! Insurance covered most of the surgery (outpatient, back to work in a week). James, I too had the bump you are describing in the exact same place.
