Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Stinking after getting treated for skin infection of belly button can be overcome by maintaining good hygiene.
Kindly clean it everyday with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon and using warm water. Apply Clotrimazole with Neomycin cream at bedtime to prevent fungal and bacterial infection. Do not apply deodorant sprays or steroid containing creams.
Gradually, the stinking will subside completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
