Could be anything : May be a skin cyst but also could be a hernia. Also could be some muscle problem (like rectus divarification) or something more serious like an enlarged liver of spleen. Will need an examination of your abdomen and may require tests such as bloods xrays and scans to sort out. Please see a doctor. All the best.

Possible causes...: Based on the location and your description, the two most common causes would be a hernia or lipoma. If the swelling worsens, becomes painful, or does not go away when sitting, you should immediately see a medical provider. For a specific diagnosis, you should see your primary care provider.
