How and why dose the belly button get to smelling bad and how can one prevent the disgusting smell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection?: Disgusting smells are worrisome for infections. Try cleaning out your belly button, perhaps drying w/rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't help, get Family Doc or Dermatologist to evaluate.
