My girlfriend is 16 weeks into her
pregnancy and has a small lump above her
belly button that is not sore but is
slightly sensitive to the touch. It only
portrudes slightly and is hard to spot
unless you touch it but it is causing her
some concern. What is this?

A qualified physician will need to see and
examine the “slightly sensitive small
lump” above your girlfriend’s belly
button. Inspection is the major diagnostic
tool used for diagnosing skin disorders.
Your girlfriend can visit her GP or a
dermatologist if necessary in order to get
a diagnosis.
