From the clinical symptoms you have described, it is an umbilical sinus which in this age group usually occur due to poor hygiene in the local area or tuft of stiff body hairs collect in the umbilicus and form what is called as umbilical sinus or weeping umbilicus. Your mother needs to get examined by a General surgeon doctor for proper management of the condition. Initially she may be given antibiotics and if the condition does not settle than surgery would help and cure her condition.
