Please consult a General Surgeon in your area for a physical examination. It could be a remnant of a duct known as Vitello intestinal duct.
That is a very rare disorder, but since your symptoms are persisting in spite of adequate treatment, the rare things also have to be considered.

Hi,
It's quite normal to have a little bit of discharge from there. However if it's persistent or if you have any pain/fever then it could be local infection
Did you have any skin rash or pimple before the discharge
Did you injure yourself by any chance?
One might not expect much in a USG. If it's persistent discharge what we need to do is a CT to see if there is a fistula or a deep seated infection
Consult when required
