Hello ma'am
I appreciate your concern
A lumpy Bruise in abdominal wall could be a lipoma ( benign fat tumor) or cellulitis of the skin
I would like further information to help you better
Since how long it has been there
Is it painful to touch or produces any discharge
is the overlying skin is healthy or having redness
if you can upload a photograph, I can be able to tell you more accurately
If it's a Lipoma, it can be excised surgically if it is really bothering you
It is well circumscribed beingn tumor of fat cell which slips under the finger when you try to grip it
Waiting for your reply to confirm you the diagnosis
Best wishes

Hello
Thanks for your reply. I was able to view the pictures. And in my opinion this could be contact dermatitis or infection of the abdominal wall
You should consult your doctor or a dermatologist for examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC , liver function test and blood sugar may be needed to arrive at a diagnosis.
You should wash it with antiseptic solution or soap and keep it moist by applying any moisturiser or antibiotic ointment. Please don't scratch or disturb it any more.
Hope this answers your question
