Navel Ordorus Discharge

What causes navel ordorus discharge

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to yeast infection of the belly button or due to some other fungal infection. Fungal infections often present with bad smell or odor.

Keep the area clean and with a clean dry ear bud gently clean the navel. Also apply some mild steroid cream like dermacort and antifungal cream like clotrimazole and see if it helps. If the symptoms persist then oral antifungal drugs may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
