What Does Small Pea Sized Bump Inside Bellybutton Indicate?

I randomly noticed a small pea sized bump inside my belly button. It is blue in color almost like a bruise and is hard. It does t hurt unless I touch it but even when I do it isn't horribly painful. What could it be? I ruled out a hernia, but that still be it?

Hi. This is not hernia, otherwise it could have caused you tremendous pain.

This is called an umbilical granuloma.
Needs to be excise by a Surgeon if you want a permanent
cure.
