You can't "do" anything, this "knot" is part of the umbilical cord, which is attached to your belly button, it is perfectly normal and should be there, but, if this "knot" continues to cause pain you should seek medical attention as this could lead to a hernia, very common and easy to sort out

Hope this helps:)

Why do you have bellybottons?

The belly button is the remainder of your umbilical cord (which attaches you to your mother inside her womb). At birth, the doctor will clamp & cut the umbilical cord, then knot it & tuck it so that it heals there.


Does the doctor that ties the knot determine whether or not your belly button is an inny or an outy?

No. Umbilical cords are clamped closed and then cut a few inches from the "navel" attachment point. Over several days, the clamped cord drys up and then falls off. Where or how the "knot is tied" has no impact on the shape of the scar left behind that we call a navel or "belly button". Body size, growth during this period and later, and good ol' genetics does the rest.
