There are various methods of treating belly button infections depending on the cause. For example, those suffering with belly button discharge and odor resulting from patent urachus can find relief through surgery. This reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, cancer of the urachal tube and leaking urine. Belly button secretions resulting from diabetes may be avoided through control of blood sugar levels. Odor and discharge resulting from bacterial infections may be treated by washing the infected area with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap, and drying the navel thoroughly. An antibacterial topical cream applied after washing the area may solve the problem of an infected belly button. Anti fungal creams and various foam treatments may help control fungal infections.
