hi.
noted history of itchy lump on stomach. it may be a cystic formation (sebaceous or keratinous) or a follicular reaction. cellulitis and abscess formation must also also be ruled-out. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
