Belly button cyst

Hiya,

I’m just wondering if anyone has an ideas, my two year old has had this hard little pearl growth in her belly button for as long as i can remember! And i’m just now kind of worrying whether i should be concerned or if anyone’s seen it before and it’s normal! She’s completely fine in herself and she’s had no other issues so it’s not harming her

Thank you so much for replying

I’m sure it’s nothing but you must get it checked by the GP for sure. Ring on Monday and follow up with this photo.

Hi OP
worth having a google of a belly button granuloma...my DD had one and it looked very similar to your photo. Nothing to worry about, hers did go away ( can't remember whether we did anything with it or it went on it's own) but I do recall the doctor saying at her 6week check if it didn't they could do something ( I'm not sure what it was they could do but there was an option).

Hi! My daughter is 1.5 and has an almost identical growth. Did you ever find out what this was?
