Belly Button pain

I have a pain just above and to the right of my belly button. This has happened once before and I didn't really thing anything of it, (happened maybe a year ago or so)

Earlier this week there was a smelly puss coming from my bellybutton. And today it's a pink liquid. (I'm assuming blood) No odor at all. It just leaks and leaks. The area around my belly button hurts to touch. Not sure if I should make an appointment to see the doctor or not. Just curiouse as to what this might be? What's causing it?

Whenever I notice my belly button getting tender, I swab it out with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.  It sterilizes your belly button and dries it out, mine always clears up the same day or the next.  I've had it get to the point where it was leaking pus and blood, and preemptive action usually prevents it from getting that far

I'm 17 and I have the same problems with u guys!!
before i feel this sharp-pain whenever I'm on my pants or anythng a little tight (but not too tight), but im ignoring it thinking its just coz im getting big. but just last night i notice a small lumo in the inside of my belly button. when I try touching the outer part of my belly buttong. it smells! like something is rotting is something!
help me please. better yet. HELP US all with the same condition.
this is really making me worried. it stinks and it hurts. now im scared.
some posts here said it may have something to do with weight. and I do admit I have been neglecting my health condition lately, and now I'm starting to put me back on track. I just fear that what if I'm able to balance my weight will this problem go away!?

HELP PLEASE :( ANYONE.
