Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have umbilical discharge. You may have some umbilical sinus or fistula. So there may infection in that tract. You should go for examination to check your condition. If needed take antibiotics and other treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
