HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The bubble area over the umbilicus may be an umbilical hernia.
An umbilical hernia occurs when fatty tissue or part of the bowel protrudes through an umbilical opening in the abdominal muscles.
In many cases, it is minor and no treatment is needed but if it is increasing in size or disturbing you then should see your doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
