Why Odor Is Coming From Belly Button After Weight Loss Surgery?
About five yrs ago I had weightloss surgery recently I ve been going to iron infusions 3days out of the week. Recently I ve noticed that I been having an odor coming out of my belly button..I always make sure I dry it well after a shower but no matter what it always comes back, should I be concerned?

Clean it with hydrogen peroxide and then wipe with spirit or betadine.
If the smell still persists , see a surgeon to rule out a granuloma
