What Is Bump In Inner Part Of Navel?

I have a bump the inner part of my navel. It seems to scab over and appears hard to the touch. It also.pinkish or reddish appearance. I had a tummy tuck about 4 years ago and a cyst appeared last year. I went to the surgeon who performed the tuck and she removed the cyst. It seems to have come but now resembles a pimple. I am not sure what this could be and I have done much research but have found nothing relating to it.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be omphalitis.

Kindly consult the surgeon or dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

A course of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs would improve the condition.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks.
