Possible causes
⢠Small lipoma (fatty lump) â usually painless, soft, mobile.
⢠Epidermal cyst â can be tender if inflamed.
⢠Localized skin infection (abscess, boil).
2. Hernia (e.g., epigastric or umbilical hernia)
⢠Can appear as a soft bulge in the upper abdomen, more obvious when standing, coughing, or straining.
What you should do
⢠Check if it changes with position: Does it bulge more when you stand or cough? That suggests hernia.
⢠Note skin changes: redness, warmth â possible infection.
⢠Monitor size: Is it growing? Getting more painful?
⢠Apply warm compress if mild and skin is normal.
⢠Avoid pressing or massaging repeatedly.
