Belly Button Has A Skin Colored Bump. Why Is It Growing?
My 3 year old son has a skin colored lump/bump protruding from inside his belly button. We were told over a year ago that it was an umbilical polyp . The doctor said no big deal, she didn t want to surgically remove it if it wasn t causing any pain or problems. Now it is sticking out more, it s slightly bigger (maybe a little larger than a pea), and it s hurting him. It also looks like it is going to pop.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
It might be a skin tag,
The other possibility is viral wart.
A photograph would have helped in diagnosis.
Dont worry it can be easily removed by minor surgery.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
