Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having bacterial infection following piercing of navel.
You can apply Gention violet after proper cleaning.
But if infection is more you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream rather than triple action cream.
Ok and take care.
