What Causes Pain In Belly Button?

I have had pain just above my belly button to the left for a week or so - only way I can explain the pain is if you could imagine snow when you pour water on it and it creates hole - well I feel like there is a burning painful hole there just above and to the left of my belly button and then today fluid started to come out of my belly button it is a goldenish brownish colour and very smelly - pain is not easing up either - any thoughts?
