Hi there.. Please help! Just above my belly button it feels like it is burning like I have ripped a muscle, I am not pregnant and I do workout but havn't overexerted myself in anyway. I am a UK size 10 and seem to have gained some new stretch marks in that area... please help
Hi. THe burning sensation above the belly button with the stretch marks is suggestive of an inflammatory process going on. This can be due to a small obstructed hernia stretching some nerve or may be an umbilical granuloma . Confirm this by an examination by a General Surgeon and ultrasonography and get diagnosed and treated accordingly.
