What Could The Bump On The Left Side Of Stomach Which Sometimes Hurts When Pressure Is Applied Be?

I have a small bump that has a bruised color on the left side of my stomach. It has been there for about 2-3 months now, and the only changes are that it's a little lighter in color and it has gotten a little smaller in size. It sometimes hurt a little to put pressure on it but not always. Any ideas of what it might be?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.

It could be anything i.e either a lipoma, OR a sebaceous Cyst. I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis. Your treating doctor might ask for a FNAC(Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) for a confirmatory diagnosis.

take care
