Belly button: You could possibly have an ulcer but you may have another polyp.Consult your doctor or gastroenterologist for immediate evaluation.

See a doctor: You need a full evaluation. Cannot begin to diagnose this, but it is imperative that you see somebody and have these issues addressed soon. Blood in stool is often from hemorrhoids or anal fissures but may also suggest cancer or other inflammatory illnesses. Go soon and good luck.
