Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have umbilical or paraumbilical hernia. Or some soft tissue tumor. You first need examination to diagnose hernia. If needed go for ultrasound abdome. If mass lesion is there then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology.
Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
