Have Lump Above The Naval Which Caused Pain?
I have lump above my navel and it causes pain and is tender to touch. My acid reflux has been acting up pretty bad. I didn't notice the pain or knot till after I wore a pair of jeans that was tight around my navel. The pain also happened about a month ago but it went away should I be worried?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed furuncles.
These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
