Question 2

i have a sore lump on my stomach.5 days it seems to be moving..swellimg like a bite. doesn't inch . what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal lump: This can be an infected insect bite or an umbilical hernia. Either of these can become an emergency. If an abscess is created by a resistant strain of bacteria, it can become a deadly infection. If, on the other hand, it is an umbilical hernia, that can become incarcerated and also become a surgical emergency. It could also be a fatty tumor, benign and harmless. See a doctor ASAP  to diagnose.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Simple vs serious: Our bodies always have things that grow and change. Skin, fat, muscle, lymph nodes,  bones, can change shape, get larger, more prominent due to many factors. The vast majority are not cancer but simply unusual growths like fatty tumors, cysts, skin tags, moles, etc.  Most cause no symptoms and can be watched.
