[|Human|] Hi, I have a hard, movable, pea-sized lump underneath the skin on my lower abdomen, to the left, and right below, my belly button. I have read that it could be a one of a few things, but I want to see if I can get any more information on this before seeing a doctor. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would not opine on it without a personal clinical examination. But at the present situation, where a clinical assessment of the swelling/lump is not possible, I could just let you know about the common conditions which could give rise to such lumps. This could be simply a lipoma (fat deposition) in the subcutaneous layer below the skin, or a cyst. The second possibility is an inguinal hernia. I would suggest you to take appointment with a general surgeon and get it assessed by him for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor
