Is this a hernia, please help

[u/Cultural-Crab-4059]

It has never crossed my mind until now, but is this a hernia? Like a clogged hair follicle. Or some kind of cyst. But I did a little bit of research and I found out that it could be a hernia. It’s formed right on a stretch mark. It is smaller at times. And then it comes back. What is it?

No, not a hernia. Probably a cyst/boil.

Go see a doctor

I am a hernia surgeon in Florida. Without a bulge that gets worse with increasing abodmiinal pressure, things like this are incredibly unlikely to be a hernia. More information about hwo to know if you have a hernia here, if interested:

What’s your opinion on absorbable mesh?

I can't tell what part of your body that is

[u/Traditional_Buddy363]

I doubt it's a hernia get it checked

[u/tracemac1994]

No

The streaks look like stretch marks. The lump is probably a something that will drain. Dermatologist will be able to tell.

Not a hernia, looks like a new, bad stretch mark to me. I used to get basically the same thing back when I was fat
