The cause of smell is growth of bacteria on site of navel I adviced you to clean navel with betadine lotion once a day. You can wash the navel with neem boiled water to get relief from smell. Wear only cotton clothes & sprinkle talc powder in the day time to decrease the sweating as sweating increase bacterial growth & bad smell.
