This is embarrasing but I'de rather tell complete strangers than people I know. Once in a while I get this liquid type thing coming out of my belly button. It smells nasty. What could it be?

lol...probably water gets in there when you bathe and you don't get it dried it out with the towel quick enough. It may be creating some fungal smells from sitting in there for a few hours. Make sure you towel your 'button out after you rub-a-dub in the tub...

Clean your belly button regularly with Polysporin (anti-bacterial) on a Q-Tip.
Problem solved!

Clean it out with rubbin' alcohol and a cotton swab. You could use the citrus or mint scented rubbin' alcohol for a more pleasant smell.

A sign that it's time to take a shower. Serious, unless you have it pierced and it's infected.. It's build-up from not having cleaned it out in far too long.

I don't know, what is happening to your belly button. But you do need to go to a doctor right away!

It's usually a combination of shedding skin cells--mixed with sweat.
It's icky, but easily fixed with a q-tip.

According to Dr. Oz (from Oprah) you could have a small hernia in your navel. Check it out:

Don't know if that can be repaired, though. Hope this helps!

you may have an infection there. because that doesn't sound normal to me. if i were you, i would go to the doctor to get it checked out(to be on the safe side).
or try cleaning it...
