Belly Button Discharge??
Posted: 11-19-07 13:26pm

For some reason lately I've had this really smelly discharge coming from my belly button. When it's dry, it's crusty and yellow, and when it's wet it smells bad (almost like vaginal discharge). It doesn't hurt, it's not itchy, so I don't know what it could be. Any ideas?

thats puss. dont worry, nothing to worry about, its just from sweat and dirt building up in the tight crevices of your belly button, everyone gets it, just swirl your finger round in there when you wash =]

Horrible advice!!!

Puss means there is a bacterial infection which means she needs to go to a doctor immediately for antibiotics.

I would definitely go to a doctor as soon as you can because it does sound like you have an infection, and ignoring it won't make it go away.

You should go to the doctor and get it looked at just in case.
