Painless lump on skin
Please tell me what kind of lump is this? I have this scar above my waist for many years. It is painless but it grew for sure. Earlier it was small round lump but during my pregnancy (1st pregnancy) and after my delivery I have realised it has grown in size. I don't feel any pain.
