I get it too!!! Thankyou everyone.glad im not alone!
When I was born I had an umbilical hernia and am convinced its to do with detaching! Im 46 now and going thru perimenopause and finally detaching from my parents! Long story! Thanks to the suggestion of cleaning with tea tree oil.
Im a believer in 'the body speaks'

It is caused by weight,
As well as low maintenance, every 2nd day you should clean it with a cotton bud dipped in alcohol such as whiskey.
I'm a big girl & I had strange leaks & so on..
It's discharge that your body is rejecting! Mainly from greasy foods.
The crustiness is just the dried discharge...
Nothing serious, just needs to be clean.
& dried after your daily shower.

All the best

Try Lying on your back- have someone pool a little ethyl rubbing alcohol (lower percentage) in your belly button. Then have them take two q tips to spread it apart and clean it out. Then get doggy style so it all runs out via gravity while you pat it dry. I think my ex wife misses things like this I used to do.  medicine_man_4

I have always had the problem but the other day I dabbed Tea Tree Oil in my navel with a cotton wool bud and I'm amazed that after all these years it no longer smells.  So all you smelly belly buttons out there - give it a try.  Be good to hear the results.

THIS WILL WORK FOR SURE. I had this problem after having to use a steroid cream for psoriasis in the belly button. I tried everything over the counter and even alcohol or salt water cottonballs held in with a bandaid. I had silvadine cream from a burn and that didn't work either.  Years later after some dental work that kinda scratched my gums, the dentist gave PERIDEX mouthrinse. he said it would soothe and bring down the swelling. It did that and as I read up on it it is also used for gum disease infections. it is prescription but very cheap for a big bottle. I soaked a q-tip in it and cleaned out my belly button and just like that the smell went away and never came back. I never knew what kind of infection it was but this worked great. My doc suggested that I share this so I hope it can help others too.
