Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some deep seated infection in belly button or having Grannuloma giving this problem.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion with proper cleaning from inside.
Apply antibiotic cream.
Go for one antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicine course.
If problem persisted, consult surgeon to rule out Grannuloma.
Ok and take care.
