1.5 yrs Post tummy tuck, Foul odor coming from belly button area. What can be causing this and how can it be treated?

Asked By:Bgt86

I had an abdominalplasty a couple years ago and started noticing a foul smell emanating from my belly button. Couple days later I noticed it being extremely sensitive and slightly uncomfortable to touch. I am guessing this is an infection of some sort but was wondering about treatment and why would it be smelling bad? Thanks
