Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Its really hard to give precise answer not being able to palpate it. From your description it sounds like a small abdominal hernia. The point is that a hernia is very rare in such location. It is possible if you have had any incision in this area.
Hernia give a lump which is less visible/invisible when lying down and more visible when standing and coughing. It can also give pain.
Such lump can be also small lipoma, however it usually does not give any pain.
Instead of guessing, you should have an ultrasound of this area. This would give the final diagnosis.
This does not sound like something serious.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

No need to fear. I assume that a cancer is what you are afraid of. Please note that cancer in the abdomen does not give a lump under the skin. Moreover you are very young so any cancer in the abdomen is hardly possible. It really sounds like something benign.


and the stomach discomfort on occasions and the stitch like twinges below the rib cage..he just said see how you go and yes I know its very mild but its just concerning Iv had this just under 2 weeks.
And I was fearing some sort of cancer or a tumour seen as I have had this for some time,bearing in mind the pain is not severe and I do feel well in general

Detailed Answer:
Below the right rib cage is where gallstones like to give symptoms. It might be discomfort only. Symptoms are usually associated with foods intake. Ultrasound should also visualize gallstones.
Sometimes stomach issues like peptic ulcer or stomach inflammation can give such symptoms.
So the first step is an abdominal ultrasound. Without it, hard to tell what else it can be.
Regards.
