Brief Answer:
Umbilical hernia or a granuloma. Consult Surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. It could be an Umbilical hernia or a Umbilical granuloma.
Is there any redness or pain or foul smelling discharge.
You need to consult a Surgeon at the earliest who can examine you and you might need a course of antibiotics, an Ultrasound abdomen and probably a surgical repair of the defect in the abdominal wall.
Do not worry. It can be treated easily.
But do not delay the treatment and consult a Surgeon at the earliest.
Do let me know if there are any further queries on this issue.
Take care.
