What Causes Foul Smelling Belly Button Area With Fluids?

Hello, i was wondering why i always have bad odour inside my belly button and sometimes if i put my finger inside there is a light brown/red fluid in there. i dont think this is a hygene problem cause i shower everyday sometimes mroe than once and i always clean that area. Even after cleaning it right away i can still smell this, and as i pass through my belly button with my finger i can feel a sort of crack inside.

The chances of infection is very likely and in my opinion this need to be clinically examined to rule out the possibility of any collections some dust particle, antibiotic is advisable but this need to be taken after explore the area with little surgical hand, hope this helps.
