Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having infection in your belly button giving rise of this problem.
There is a possibility of having Grannuloma in belly button.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Clean the site with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
You may require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Ok and take care.
