Summary:
The First Reason Your Belly Button Might Smell: According to HEALTH LINE, the first and probably most common answer to the "why does my belly button emit an awful and bad stink" is poor hygiene. Observing hygiene is incredibly, incredibly important, we cannot stress this enough. You especially have to observe hygiene within your belly button because HEALTH LINE says that it has it's own tiny ecosystem. For starters, gross, and for seconders, please explain further. Well, research done by the PUBLIC LIBRARY OF SCIENCE found that "our belly buttons may be home to nearly 70 different types of bacteria. Fungi and other germs can also get trapped inside the belly button region." Then, these bacteria and germs eat dead skin, dirt, sweat and all the other gross, stinky stuff you'd find in your belly button and then, they multiply. After a while, and especially if you don't observe good hygiene and clean down there once in a while, they'll mix with a lot of the sweat and dirt and start to stink. So, there you have it, your belly button smells bad because you don't wash up enough.
The Second Reason Your Belly Button Might Smell: The second answer to the all important "why does my belly button smell as bad as heck" question is something a little more serious than poor hygiene: specifically, infection. According to the folks at HEALTH LINE, "Candida is a type of yeast that likes to grow in dark, warm, and moist environments, like your groin and underarms." This, among other infections, not only create horrible, bad smells but also create a lot of potential problems for your body. You'll want to seek help from a medical professional if you find yourself with a stinky infection that doesn't go away after you wash it.
The Third Reason Your Belly Button Might Smell: Here we start to get into a grosser territory, so this is only if you've completely ruled out options one and two for reasons as to why your belly button might stink. Ready? Alright, here it is: the third reason for a stinky belly button is Epidermoid and pilar cysts. You can probably imagine what these entail, but we'll let HEALTH LINE explain them better: "An epidermoid cyst is a bump that starts in the top layer of skin, and a pilar cyst starts near the hair follicle. Both of these cysts contain cells inside a membrane that produce and secrete a thick keratin protein sludge. If one of these cysts gets large and bursts, the thick, yellow, foul-smelling discharge will drain from it." So there you go, if you have gross bumps all around your belly button, you might have Epidermoid and/or pilar cysts. Just go to a doctor if you find you have these.
The Fourth Reason Your Belly Button Might Smell: Alright, the last reason for having a stinky belly button is probably just as gross as number three, but much less common. The number four reason for having a stinky belly button is Sebaceous cysts. Once again, we'll let HEALTH LINE handle this one: "[they] originate in the sebaceous glands, which normally produce a waxy and oily lipid mixture called sebum for skin lubrication and protective properties. Sebaceous cysts fill up with sebum and can become infected. If you hadn't already guessed, they can become pretty stinky as well. Again, if you have cysts near your belly button, please go see a doctor.
Well, now you know why you might have an awful smelling belly button. Unless it's bad hygiene, you should probably seek medical attention. For starters, you don't want smelly odors coming from anywhere on your body, let alone a place there isn't supposed to be smelly odors like your belly button. Also, what's the point in ignoring it and potentially damaging yourself even further?
