Urachal sinus: I do not know what you are actually seeing or feeling. Rarely a persistent connection can internally connect to the umbilicus. This can resukt in intermittent pain, redness, swelling & discharge from the umbilicus. See a doctor for an exam.

Yes: Yes it is possible for a patient to have a remnant of the umbilical cord. You can go to a general surgeon for a consultation regarding possible surgical removal.
