Smelly discharge from the navel could be for many reasons: From poor hygiene to an infective cause deep within.
Next Steps
Start with cleaning your navel with soap and water twice a day. If the discharge doesn’t reduce and if you see yellowish/whitish/bloody discharge or are having pain, please meet a general surgeon who can examine and plan further.
