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

Ya the last few days my belly button has been hurting around it and in it especially when i touch it, then i was laying down last night and i noticed a yellow greenish puss coming out of it! and it stunk, i went to the bathroom to clean it and the the puss just oozed out, so i took a bath and flushed it out real well, and cleaned it with soap and peroxide, using a q-tip, i made sure to dry it real well also, it hasn't pussed since last night to my knowledge but this morning i woke up with a red soar throat and green mucus!! Could this be related and is it serious? Help someone!
