Small, hard bump on left of belly button?!
Question: Today I noticed that when my stomach rubbed against something it hurt and when I touched it I noticed a non visible bump under the skin. You can feel it and it just feels like a bruise. I haven't been finding any help on the internet. Any suggestions? It's on the left side of my belly button.

Probably a small umbelical hernia. Often a piece of omentum, the fat that covers your intestines, get stuck in such a hernia. That causes some pain but is of no danger to you as long as you can live with it.
The problem comes if the herniation gets big enough to allow any of your intestines to get stuck in it. Then it requires surgical intervention.
A hernia can usually be reduced by gentle manipulation, but it can sometimes seem like trying to push a sock through a button hole.
If you have any concern, see your doctor!
I'm no doctor but Ill take a look.......... sorry my bad
Actually if it doesn't go away in a day or so you should have it checked by a doctor.
