Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
A protruding belly button may not always pathological. But as it is increasing in size there may be some underlying condition which need to be ruled out.
I suggest you to consult a general surgeon who will examine your belly button and come to a diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
If you have any other queries, feel free to ask .
