Brief Answer:
Looks like umbilical hernia, see a local doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Now from the description , it looks like you have developed some type of an umbilical hernia. This can develop due to any defect or weakness in the abdominal wall which can lead to herniation of inside contents.
In case you are developing any pain , swelling or increase in size of the swelling or an inability to push back the swollen area, then you might have to see your local doctor soon.
