What Could Red Bumps On Abdomen Indicate In A Child?

Hello. When changing my beautiful 5 week old boy, I noticed he had developed a small red bump inside his belly button. I have never noticed it before. The only thing I have noticed is a little dried mucus on the belly button here and there, but very minor. Should I worry?

Hi, this red bump could be due to skin tightened in cloth or could be a insect bite. If its due to pressure of cloth then it will disappear in few hours. So, you have to watch the bump for few hours. Take care.
