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 have had the same issues on and off most of my life. All I do is use a q-tip loaded up with alcohol and clean out the belly button really good. Usually I only have to do it a couple of days ( morning and afternoon after shower).... I'll be honest... It burns like hell..... But it totally works!!!

Urachal cyst!  My surgeon just diagnosed it.  I get an ultrasound tomorrow then see a Urologist so they can decide on the surgery.  This is VERY RARE in adults so many doctors don't even consider it.  Please see:  http:www.****.com  You wilol have to sign on (free) and then see the article.  Don't play around with this it is serious.  It first presents with umbilicus pain, then bleeding and/or nasty discharge and odor from the belly button (umbilicus.)

Belly button smell and even bleeding can be a symptom of a systemic yeast infection, called Candidiasis. Cutting out junk food, esp sugars, adding probiotics [supplements, not just yogurt], drinking lots of water helps. There's a ton of information on the web about Candidiasis; I encourage everyone to do some reading and see if the info fits. Most doctors don't know about and/or don't believe in the problem of systemic yeast. Take care of yourself......

I am having the same problem recently,. i have been through a total of 3 surgeries since oct 14,2009, and i have had a colostomy bag placed on me for the last 9 months and now i have a surgical wound between the vagina and rectum from this last attempt to repair my rectalvaginal fistula... and i told my nurse that came to my house daily about the recent severe pain in what i thought was my incision scar from 1cm below my belly button down to the bottom of my stomack, my nurse said its nothing, but later that night i put my son to bed and roll over onto my side and i felt wetness coming down my side... i quickly realized the bloody, clearish/yellowish ***** liquid was coming out of my bellybutton and the pain got more severe and felt bloated, crampy, burning, heavy and just felt like i was overly full from eatn which by the way i hadnt eatn so that wasnt the case, i ran to E.R cuz i was horrified and worried, that dr. didnt know why, so i askd my doctor when i went to the wound center and again he knew nothing. so im still in the dark and dont know why it bled or had discoloration, but it hasnt bled since i was gonna clean it again but im scared that might make it worse and bleed again..... it still hurts but not as bad.
