What Could Smelly, Yellowish Discharge From Navel In Pregnancy Continued After Childbirth Mean?

When I was pregnant( about 4 months ago) I started having a smelly yellowish discharge coming from my navel. After baby was born i still had some discharge and I noticed 2 days ago that a very red ring has formed completely around the navel area as well. There is no swelling, pain or tenderness.

This sounds like infection in the navel area.
Please consult a doctor.
You might need topical and oral antibiotics for the same.
