Should I See A Doctor For Painful Lump Around The Navel?

A few days ago I noticed a small pain near my navel and a couple hours after that I felt a small lump just above it. The lump hurt to touch but wasn't bad. It has been a few days and the I have no pain near the lump and it has shrunk to the point that it is almost completely gone. Should I still see a doctor or is this normal?

Hi,

The painful lump around navel indicates possible inflammation following some sort of bacterial infection. Now, as the lump is almost resolved, there is no need to see a doctor. Just keep the part clean with an antiseptic liquid and dry.

Hope I have answered your query.
