<human>: Hi, so recently I had a small discomfort in my belly button, I thought it to be my hairs getting caught together. After awhile the pain stopped and no I noticed that there was a small lump in my belly button, it is squishy and has no pain at all when I touch it or anything. I am highly concerned in what it is and think it is a hernia but I am not sure.
<bot>: Hi! After going through your description and the history, if I were your family physician for this case of suspected lump in the belly button, I would come up with three possibilities like:1. A normal developmental variant only you are too much worried about that!2. A small skin nodule like benign fibrous or neurofibroma or a sinus tract3. An umbilical hernia in the early stageTherefore, you need sonographic evaluation and a direct clinical examination for confirmation of the nature of the lesion;regards!
