Suggest Remedy For A Lump Appearing Above The Navel

I have an irregular spot about the size of a pencil eraser about 2 inches from my naval. It comes and goes. It will come up suddenly and then disappears. It is not raised or sore. When it disappears you can.t even tell it has been there. This has been going on a couple of years. do you think it is anything to worry about. it is dark red in color.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump appearing above the navel . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like ovarian cysts , cholecystitis , Crohn’s disease , pancreatic abscess , diverticulitis Umbilical Hernias , enlarged liver or other organ . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy or take sample for lab test to rule out any malignancy .
