Belly Button Odor??
I just discovered this yesterday. I told my husband that my belly button smelled like garlic. I clean my belly button everyday when I shower but I dont' dry it like the rest of my body. Yesterday I decided to do this and the smell was garlic. I took a Q-tip and more soap and water and washed it out.
I never in a million years would have thought it was because of WLS.
Great question.
Hand sanitizer is basically alcohol with a bit of moisturizing agent in it. You need to kill the candida (yeast) for best results.

Never put a qtip in your bellybutton. A tiny piece of fiber may come off and you will REALLY get an infection.
Right now take a washcloth and clean it out as best as possible. Then each time you shower dry the bb with a hair dryer (not too hot) and then put in a little antifungal powder. The main thing is to keep it dry. The bacteria will not be able to grow then.
