Hi,
The round painful lump you see above your belly button could be related to:
- lipoma
- hernia
I'd suggest to :
- consult a GI specialist
- do abdominal ultrasound and other tests as directed by GI specialist.
If hernia is confirmed, then, should ask your doctor if surgery is the final solution for you.
Other wise, if lipoma is confirmed, should ask for biopsy and if surgery is also the only solution.
All the best!
