Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Belly Button

My baby is 11 months old. We just noticed today that her belly button is red on the inside and part of it is stick out above the rest. What could this be and should we be alarmed? I should note that she s very apt at shuffling quickly on her belly and is now starting to climb over things (she s a twin born at 36 weeks). Her brother isn t showing any of the same signs with his belly button but is also more physically advanced than her. Thanks for any advice/info you can provide!
