Having A Lump Above Belly Button. It Is Very Painful And Sensitive. What It Is?
My husband noticed a hard lump about the size of a quarter in diameter right above his belly button last night. He says it is very painful and extra sensitive to touch. Just a moment ago, he told me he had just cleaned leaking blood from the inner part of his belly button. What could these symptoms possibly be implying??
Hello,
Your history suggests the presence of an abscess above the belly button.
You must subject yourself to physical examination by a doctor and treatment involves surgical removal of pus along with proper sterile dressings and a course of anti biotics.
You must also get your blood tests done to rule out presence of any diabetes.
I hope it helps.
Thanks
