Suggest Treatment For Recurring Infection In Bellybutton

I have a recurring infection in my bellybutton. No jewelry, no changed soaps etc. Nothing irritating it. This only started happening after I had my tubes tied in 2008. I have had 3 bouts since. The last 2 less than 1 month apart. My dr told me it was intriguing. I am hoping to find more answers. Thanks

It may a tiny piece of suture material that still remains there.. U need to check on that and get it removed if it is so.. Or else get a swab culture and sensitivity done from the discharge and take suitable antibiotics..
