Hi,Dear,Welcome with your query to HCM.

Based On the facts,Dear, you need to Consult Surgeon /or paediatric Surgeon,to assess the tender / red leaking belly button.
USG study with Contrast Study / or CT abdomen with Contrast Study, would fix the cause of -Omphalo-mesenteric duct cyst or it could be due to the Patent Urachal Cyst/ or it could be due to Umbilical polyp,or Umbilical Granuloma,Vitello-intestinal patent duct leaking due to the intestinal obstruction in the para-umbilical hernia.Tender red tender lump in the para-umbilical area could be from obstruction of the Para-umbilical hernia.
