Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Lump above the belly button is most likely a hernia (abdominal or umbilical) especially if this lump is located under the skin. Hernia should be less visible when lying down and more visible when standing. Pain can be more intense when coughing or lifting heavy objects.
Crohns or aneurysm do not give a lump symptom. If you are thin person, you may palpate some pulse from regular aorta.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
