Just to add, there have been countless times that I relied on this kit that otherwise I would surely have needed to be on steroids, and that wouldn't have gotten rid of the black thick clotted blood under the surface.  Remove that stuff the inflammation stops.  This method is also amazing for knee and other joint problems.  My acupuncturist does not 'believe in arthritis'.  It is the junk that collects, we get symptoms, take pills, the junk is still there and one day there is a mass of dead blood interfering in circulation, we move less, calcium buildup etc etc etc).  Those itchy elbows are also sources of that dead blood, I have seen it, personal proof, when I get itchy spots (such as around the ankles, there is always junk.  This is not hocus pocus, yes we have candida, yeast, sugar, and all the other sins, but these mini painless operations make you instantly feel and be better, instantly reverse the sins that have made you feel bad, and gives you the energy to take better care of yourself.

From personal experience I believe that all the suggestions above do not come close to the answer.  It is not because the belly buttons are sweating because they are innies', or that we are fat and no air is getting to them, or that we don't clean them.  My solution came by mistake.  I was having treatments from my acupuncturist that most do not do, it was with suction, cupping using the bloodletting aspect. I thought that knowledge of this treatment needed to be more publicly known but did know how to get it out there, that is until I found the term hijama.  I experimented with googling hijama and acupuncture and appropriate worldwide locations so that friends of mine could find a practitioner, the reason I added acupuncture is so that one could have the option to have treatments with acupuncture.  Hijama is a long standing well known Muslim version, it is more strict (only on certain days of the month, and they suggest you rest after a treatment) and intense (they use razor blade cuts rather than needle punctures).

In my case my acupuncturist had given me a cupping kit, it took a few years before I realized I could do the bloodletting on myself in emergencies.

I recommend that even if you do get a cupping kit, that you also find a practitioner who does the whole body from time to time, as we can only deal with emergencies by ourselves, and can not do the whole body front and back to do a complete treatment.

I started using the kit on myself when I got a wasp bite that by the next day the hotness, redness and itching was starting to pass the elbow mark and I thought I'd have to go to the hospital.  I then got the kit out and put the cup on the bite site (used the suction gun to make the cup stick to the skin, left it there for a bit, used the needle hammer on the area, then put the cup back), and before I knew it the cup was filling up with the same material that came out when my acupuncturist did it on me.  This taught me that it is not necessarily so that we are allergic to bee stings, but that insects bite us where we are 'sick'.

I spent the summer using mosquito bites to find the 'sick' spots, and realized that mosquitoes are my guide in those times when I can not always find the time to drive the two hours for my acupuncture treatment.

Later that year I started to get the hot red itchy smelly belly button symptoms.  I got out the kit, and for the next 5 months, about three times a week I had to do the treatments, for a couple hours each day.  I was wondering if I would have to do them indefinitely and then I made an interesting discovery.

First of all, the area around the belly button (about an inch extending around the belly button is the 'spleen' area for Chinese medicine diagnostics.  I had a spot on my forearm that itched like crazy from time to time (it seemed to be where the forearm rests on the computer, but it is also a prominent point along the spleen meridian), but I could never get a cup to stick on that part of the arm (I thought, that due to the angle I could not reach it properly).  After five months of doing the belly button treatments the arm itch started again, and finally this time I did manage to get the cup to stick, and I removed many cups of different kinds of the material (bubbles, clots of different colours, etc).

After that, the need for continuing with the belly button ceased.

This type of treatment is so necessary for the removal of toxins that can not be gotten rid of with good diet and habits alone.  It is not at all painful, only a relief, especially when something is itchy, you put some alcohol on it, the cup, a few hammers with the needle hammer, put the cup back and the junk starts coming out ... the head feels lighter, the itch goes away, you feel great!  One thing I would add, at some point during the belly button treatments the needle hammer was no longer doing the trick and I finally succumbed to using a lancet ... of course there is a way to do it so that it does not feel like you are sticking a needle into yourself.  I will try to explain, you kind of lightly punch area, using your hand to block the needle going in all the way, so that it barely breaks the skin.  Do not be alarmed about the blue bruising, as you clean out, over time the bruising stops.

I repeat again, even if you buy your own kit and hammer, it is just for emergencies, do find someone to do whole body treatments, at least in the beginning.

I leave it to you to do your own google research (hijama, cupping, bloodletting).  There you will see the sequence of cup, alcohol, cup, wait, remove cup, wipe, do it again ... in some instances one day nothing will come from a spot, and when you go back again, it does.

Also, doing it with an acupuncturist ensures that the energy system is fortified, not only the blood removal.  As my acupuncturist says 'I can put the needles in, but if there is junk underneath, it does not do much".

I tried to keep this brief, hope it helps.

i too, like many, have the same type of clear discharge from my belly button. i find that, personally, when i rub too much at it (when tryiing to wipe it away) it simply gets worse. but if you don't at least pat dry the discharge it will dry and leave almost a sort of off white crystal, like what comes from your eyes when you wake up. I would try to use, like many others have said, an anti-baterial cream, such as neosporin, or a type of cream you put on cuts and scrapes. this seems to dry and temporarally drain the fluid if not perminently. DO NOT PICK AT THE SPOT. if you do you will find that there will be scabs inside the belly button and feel almost like wet cornstarch. not all ofthis may be true, but this is what happened to me. hope this info help a bit :) .

I have had this same problem for about 3 years. I'm 17 year old, not over weight, when I first started getting it I was a size 8 in clothes I'm now a size 12 and I started getting it after I had my belly button pierced. I've been too embarrassed to go to the doctor about it. I've tried everything but it always comes back, it's horrible and my partner finds it so off putting :-(
