Brief Answer:
Umbilical hernia
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
I have reviewed the photographs.
This seems to be umbilical hernia which is a congenital anomaly in the baby.
It is association with many symptoms like vomiting, pain abdomen , gastric distension.
It will be corrected by surgery only, medicines will not work.
I will suggest you to consult a pediatric gastroenterologist as soon as possible for proper examination, investigations and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
