What Causes Discharge And Bleeding From Umbilicus?

I had umbilical surgery about 6 months ago. My belly button is a lot deeper than it used to be. I have been having discharge and blood coming from navel for several months, but I honestly thought it was from a pimple inside or something, as I had that problem a lot right before surgery. Now, it seems like a lot more blood than a pimple would produce. Belly button is so deep now (I am not fat; on the contrary very athletic with flat stomach) i have trouble looking in, but there appears to be a small bloody protrusion!! Is it even possible that there is something coming apart in there!??

As per the description of symptoms, this is most likely umbilical granuloma. Need clinical confirmation with ultrasound evaluation and surgery to cure.
