Get apt: Needs exam to determine the etiology. There are a number of possibilities, none of them cancer. With the exam he will get the answer and treatment needed.

If persists see MD: Im not surprised anything from that area has an odor....whether normal or not. Sweat vs mucous vs clear liquid stool vs sensation abnormality. Many possibilities. Most likely, at his young age, this is functional and not life-threatening.....and a change in diet could be the culprit. Any belly issues? Any recent spinal injuries? Lots of questions need answering to detective this one correct

IF present doctor may have to fulgarize ( cauterize ) the tissue then will heal , very rarely a tract may be connected to bladder ( uracus )
