I have a bumps on my abdomen that has been there for over a month, it is hard and from time to time I can squeeze stuff out of it. The pore itself is wide and I can see a dark mass underneath the top layer of thin skin. What should I do? What could it be? Should I Lance it?

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern!
In the present case of abdominal wall swelling or lump, if I were your consulting physician, I would just say you, 'nothing to worry!'
As per your description, it is benign harmless lesion like sebaceous cyst or some fibroepithelial polyp! The dark mass is possibly related to old hemorrhage or accumulation of melanin-pigments..
Take caution not to get injured there as this might invite infection.
If you are still worried, please get an FNAC test for confirmation or get examined by a surgeon and revert back to us.
Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.
Wishing you the best health!
