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?

open up your belly button more than you would normally with a tweezers and get out whatever is in there, its probably hair or some dirt in your belly button. It causes a sore belly button and a smelly puss to come out.

I have been through the same thing. for 90% of you everything will be fine. It happen to me twice. It starting with the pain around the navel, then the redness around the navel, then the leakage and blood. Scary i know. The first time i went to the doctor and he just cleaned it very well and wrote me some antibiotic ointment. He said it was a either a cyst or a ingrown hair that got badly infected and caused an abcess. I am in to athletics very much. i still play semi pro baseball and do mix martial arts to this day at the age of 29. I am a furry guy as well lol. He said it was probably a combination of sweating and having my clothes rub. It went away a few days later. It has happen again but i treat it right away. I shower way more often, clean it with  Hibiclens. I get it from a girl i date that works at a Hospital but you can pick up a small bottle of it from your local drug store. It mainly hurts on the areal around the navel about a 1/2 inch deep and in the navel of course. If it hurts very deep in your stomach and gets unbearable than i suggest you get it checked out. Good luck.

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!?
