Hi since ur telling its recurrent
U can get ultrasound abdomen pelvis or a sinogram to rule out umbilicus sinus or any sinus tract
As umbilicus area (navel)is more prone for infections better to clean the area dry n clean
It can be pre infective or superimposed infection on some other pathology, either you took incomplete antibiotics course without follow up of you doctor, if their is significant discharge is there , it needs examination, f/b usg and incision and drainage if localised collection is present and bacteriological and hpe of tissue, as per clinical context.
Next Steps
Revisit surgeon, examination f/b usg and bacteriological testing may be needed.
