What Is The Lump On Top Of The Navel Surrounded By Red Ring?
I have pain at the top of my navel. There is a hard lump that seems to be getting bigger slowly. It is very painful when pushed I. Also I now have a red ring all the way around the belly button. I thought it was just irritated from touching it but it is still there and getting a little worse.

Hi,
These symptoms may be due to a para umbilical hernia. The pain and redness is due to a small amount of tissue getting trapped in the hernia and becoming inflamed.
I suggest you see your doctor as examination will help with the diagnosis. Treatment may involve a small operation.
