Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Yes, I think it's usually bacteria. Your anatomy has changed. I remember that happening to me a while back when I lost a lot of weight. Since you have discharge, I would have it checked by your doc. Probably no big deal, just needs an antibiotic cream or something. > HI - I have a strange question I think... but here goes...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hi Shala, I have had this problem before. I was too embarrassed to ask my dr. I had no idea that our bodies were cabable of producing such a odor! I read on another message board that it is a yeast infection. Go figure! Some anti-bacterial cream is supposed to clear it up. Hopes this helps. Leah > HI - I have a strange question I think... but here goes... Has anyone had > like an infection in their belly button??? would this be related to weight > issues ???
