Make sure there is no leaking urine as a result of a congenital anomaly. Otherwise it may just be umbilical granuloma which can be treated in a clinic by application of silver nitrate under supervision of your Pediatrician.
Next Steps
Get it checked by his doctor.
Health Tips
Make sure the diaper is fastened below the umbilicus. It should not cover it.
