It could be fungal infection.
Please clean the area nicely with cotton swab soaked in spirit and apply Betadine at least 3 times a day.
At times discharge from belly button can also be due to remnants of vitello-intestinal duct which normally gets obliterated but at times may remain patent.
So if the discharge and infection is not cured by simple methods then you should consult with a General Surgeon.
