This could be an infected cyst, a deep pustule which is essentially a zit or some other type of skin tumor. I recommend keeping it clean and dry, monitoring it for any change in size, redness, discharge or pain. You could try applying a medicated pet shampoo daily and monitoring it afterwards. However if it becomes enlarged, red, painful or more appear or it does not go away after a couple days then Bellybutton needs to be examined by her veterinarian.
