Discharge and Bleeding From My Belly Button

For quite a few months now I have been experiencing discharge and burning coming from my navel and it smells really bad, it's usually like a brownish whitesh color. I had hoped that this would go away, I've tried salt water and drying it after showers but still nothing.Also when i clean it off a rash occurs around the area.
Today was very scary it started bleeding (not a lot but still) and its burning, also last week i experienced really, really sharp lower back pains, to the point where it hurt to breathe and walk.I dont know if this relates to subject. I dont know what to do. Is there anything i can buy over the counter? Due to the fact that I do not have health insurance.

I am very fit and eat right and found caked blood in my BB and was shocked, but I took it out, then a little blood came out and it smelled worse than horrible, it reeked, it stenched worse than all my sweaty socks ever combined, so I put a natural antibiotic there: Honey and it seems to work, but it still smell like hell (at least). I know many mentioned neosporine, 10% idodine and Athletes foot creme and spray which all sounds good, but I like natural options.

Im 21 years old and I discovered the discharge about a week ago. I am overweight so I asked my mom about it and she said its from our weight. She also is overweight and experienced the same thing. The one post  about candiasis or w.e it is called makes sense.

I am a Hispanic 42 yr old Woman who just started noticing that my belly button area is always hurting me nowadays. I am a bit overweight and have always cleaned my belly button area with Q-tips just as I clean my ears out everyday I shower. I have been experiencing sharp shooting pains in my stomach and on my sides. I too have noticed a awful smell after I usually cleaned. Never have I ever experienced the blood or oozing of some discharge. I just have noticed a smell and just yesterday after I showered I noticed some spotting of blood on my Q-tip and I freaked out! along with this sharp pains, I experience alot of weakness and I feel Lethargic alot of times. I think the most unbearable things I experience is the Sharp shooting pains going thru my body and My Belly feels tight at times.

I notice when I put my hand or cover my belly button with something warm that it makes me feel better. I just also noticed that since November 30, 2010 was the last time I experienced a period....I have never ever missed any periods in all my Life! So, just recently on February 20th, 2011 I started my period again....and it was heavier than ever. I have been going thru Menopause since 2009. Some may say it's my Hormones and my age that is making me experience so many changes in Life. The most scary part of this all is the Charlie horse pains that my body goes through and it makes me hurt so bad that during the sharp charlie horse pains on my sides or my upper body torso that I can't breathe during this attacks. I have to gasp for air and breath very slowly while this is going on and until it all goes away.

I found out through old Mexican Wives tales that when you have had a tubal litigation that sometimes the Dr's may leave your incision slightly opened or it was not stitched all the way closed that it can cause some discomfort throughout your years and cause air to enter your body and cause you to look like your very bloated and or Pregnant! and in my case I look preggo even when I am not. So, although I am overweight looking I'm not a junk eater nor do I over eat at all...matter a fact I am totally the opposite I am a very healthy eater and still I look as if I sit around eating chips, candy and all kinds of junk food all day!

So, had'nt gone to the actual dr just yet...don't think American Doctors even know about what this old wives tale could be...But, when I went to this lady who did (Ventosas) on me a practice just like the Chinese or Japanese whom use glass like jars to take out air out of your body, well, they place it on your back and light some fire inside the glass and you will see air being sucked out your skin through your back and or your stomach and it looks like a booby filling the jar inside...I kid you not that it started working and my Stomach within a week or so I noticed the difference. It started going down big time, almost like deflating a tire or a Balloon....Weird but, true!  She's a Iridologist/Herbalist and only uses herbal anything to help treat you.

I'm in Dallas and she's way out in the Ft. Worth, Texas area so gas and the treatments can be costly...Well, her treatments are'nt all that expensive just $20-$25 dollars a visit plus any herbal pills or teas she may recommend....I know it's way cheaper than going to the Dr. But I'm not working right now so until I can afford it I will go again...This really works! and she gives you a little body massage and pops your neck and gives you a tea to drink a sugarless drink and its very dark green looking and smells like spearmint (Chloraphyll) whatever they use to flavor gum... at the end of your treatment...and it leaves you feeling woozy but that's only because I had never had a Ventosa done and or body massage like the one she gave me...I felt so Energetic and stress free way afterwards.

This is recommended for anyone who who like to give this a try!!!! I have her name and number...My Name is: Anna Maria and if any of you would like her info e-mail me at: ***@**** in the title: Ventosa.....she speaks Spanish Only...But, I have seen some India/Indonesian people even go to her...she must be good if they are even coming to her!

Much Luck to all of you and God Bless all your efforts! <3,
