What Causes Swollen Lump On Inside Of Belly Button?
Hello, all, I need some med advice. I m a 30 year old male. For months now I ve had this swollen lump on the left inside part of my bellybutton. It looks like one side is swollen, and when I feel it, it is not hard, its is more fatty and squishy. It does not hurt, and there is no hard center to it. Should I be worried about something very serious here?

Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, I think any inflammatory process in that area that persist for months need to be evaluated probably you have a cutaneous abscess and the only way for solve it is taking antibiotics( help to absorption ) or drainage, I recommend you some cold compresses 3 times a day / 20 minutes and if you improve temporary but it's return you need go to the doctor. I hope that my advice has been helpful,take care
