My bellybutton itchy, wet, smell and very little pain. was about to clean w/ a small betadine on qtip then neosporin antibiotic. is that ok?

Yes: That's not unusual if you have not cleaned it for awhile. What you did was fine but soap and water or a little rubbing alcohol would likely have done the trick. Try to clean the area out once a week. If the antibiotic did not help, consider an anti-fungal cream.
