A member asked:

My belly button is warmer than my my stomach, and when i try to sit up it hurts a little, also it doesn't look red?

Umbilicus: Its possible you have an umbilical hernia. That means a small bit of your intestine is pushing up between muscles. It can require surgery. There would not be a color change. Now this is just a possibility. Visit a physician and have them examine you.
