Brief Answer:
It could be a hernia

Detailed Answer:
Hi Gene,

What you describe could be an umbilical hernia. Alternatively an abscess. Either way, if you feel OK and do not have a fever or vomit, you can wait and watch for a few days. The best way to diagnose it is an ultrasound. If possible, you can send me a photo of it.

Best wishes.
