Why does my GI Tube opening smell so bad????

The area where my tube connects to my body smells wretched! Why is this? I clean several times daily and coat opening with neosporin. I also do warm salt water compresses several times weekly (doc said would help with irritation). The smell is so bad it makes me gag...although the severity could just be me. How to I control it?
