What Causes Awful Smell Coming From Belly Button?
I was looking at my belly button and noticed some nasty hairs coming from it. I pulled them out and a putrid smell came from it, I used a q-tip to clean out my belly button but a lot of dark red blood came out on the q--tip and drained out. After cleaning it out again I noticed no blood and felt no pain. What could this be?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a yeast infection.
The most common sign of yeast infection in the belly button is a foul odor.
I suggest to use a fungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream.
I also suggest to maintain a good hygiene.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
