What Is Bump In Inner Part Of Navel?
I have a bump the inner part of my navel. It seems to scab over and appears hard to the touch. It also.pinkish or reddish appearance. I had a tummy tuck about 4 years ago and a cyst appeared last year. I went to the surgeon who performed the tuck and she removed the cyst. It seems to have come but now resembles a pimple. I am not sure what this could be and I have done much research but have found nothing relating to it.

Hi,
It may be omphalitis.
Kindly consult the surgeon or dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
A course of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs would improve the condition.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
