Suggest Treatment For Infection In Belly Button

Hi ya. I have a belly button infection and been using salty water to help the soreness and itchness as my doctors havent got anything until next week. Ive had this for about a week now. Also 2 days ago i came on. Just went to the loo and as i wiped myself at the front i noticed white small lines and they were moving on the paper. Is this something i should worrie about and do u think uts connected to my belly button infection?
