Hello sir.... This might be an infection at the umbilicus, caused by the pilonidal sinus which is one of the commonest reasons. It requires the proper examination and treatment, which will involve local and oral antibiotic and if persists, then a small surgical excision of the sinus. Kindly refer to the plastic surgeon nearby.
