Newborn at 34 days, there is a small lump above the navel, what

Patient's question:

Newborn, 34 days old, with a small lump above the navel. What's going on? (Male, 1 month)

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: Based on the symptoms, this may be related to increased intra-abdominal pressure. No special treatment is needed, as it has not yet reached the criteria for hernia. The photo shows some inflammation around the baby's navel, and there is also a white pustule above the navel, which is also a bacterial infection. It is recommended to wipe the baby with 75% alcohol. Keep the local skin clean and dry. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
