Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
If there is no pain and redness around it then you dont have to be worried.l usually through belly button we place laparoscope and there could be small wound infection or wound complcaitionl. But it should subside soon. if there is pous secretion or redness witzh pain you may need antibiotics and wound revision so consult your surgeon in this case.
Wish you good health. Regards
