Brief Answer:
You can opt for an ultrasound

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Most probably it will be due to superficial inflammation. Abscess and abdominal wall hematoma are the two possibilities.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
Intrabdominal causes are unlikely. If symptoms persist you can consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan.
Wishing all the best
Thanks
