What Does Foul Odor In The Navel Indicate?
I have yellow foul smelling discharge coming from my belly button. I put peroxide in it per my doctor and for a while now it has stopped. It returned today and so I tried the peroxide again but this time it burned and I saw white tiny bumps all on the wal of my belly button. I figured it was the fizzing from the peroxide. I also had my gall bladder removed several years ago. What could this be ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the naval is not properly cleaned, during bath daily, dirt can get collected in there and get infected causing foul smell and discharge. All you have to do is to thoroughly clean the depths of the belly button daily, while taking a bath.
Thank You!
