Infected Belly Button Pregnant

So this is a bit of a weird one, I’ve had an infected belly button before I was pregnant a couple of years ago and I used antiseptic cream and it cleared up in a week, my belly button is an inny and is deep!
But the past couple of days I’ve noticed a smell coming from it again and it doesn’t smell good, I shower every day, I clean it properly, I also dry it but it’s started to smell, there’s no soreness or itching just the smell I’m going to ring the doctors tomorrow to ask about it but I’m worried will it harm the baby? TIA

No it won't harm your baby, your bellybutton is not connected to your baby in any way!

After drying carefully (no rubbing), apply surgical spirit on cotton wool.

No it couldn't harm your baby, it's just a skin infection.

I used to get belly button infections allllll the time before i fell pregnant and i was told by the drs that you can over dry it after showering ect

I swear by a cotton bud dipped in diluted tea tree oil for this problem
