Itching Belly Button, Yellow Discharge, Foul Smell, Used Peroxide, Bleeding, Hypothyroid

Thanks for your query.
You have mentioned that there is itching and fowl discharge from the the belly button (Umbilicus).
It appears that you have developed infection of the umbilicus or the structures beneath it. Embryologically, the umbilicus is connected to intrabdominal organs. Infection can occur any where along the tract and show up externally at umbilicus.
Any exposed tissue is exposed to Hydrogen Peroxide with react by liberating gas/oxygen.
There are two thongs required for you.
1. First, you should get your self evaluated by your primary physician. An examination of the area will let us know if there is just a superficial infection or its coming from beneath.
2. Second, you will need a course of antibiotics and antiseptics for 5 - 7 days
Ultrasound abdomen might be advised to evaluate the structures underneath.
Hope this answers your query.
Please get back if you need any further information.
Thanks and Regards
Dr Kiran
