Hi,
Itseems that there might be having some infection under scar lesion producing smelly odor and pain and hard area.
Consult your treating doctor and get examined.
He might give a course of antibiotic to cure infection under the scar.
Clean local site with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
