Ok...wtf does a hernia look like from the outside?

[Bobber]

I have had 2, one when I was 2 and one when I was 5, and now I have a bump that hurt when I press on it in between my top two abs on the right side of my body. Any info?

Could be a vein also. I had something like that but more towards my obliques and it went away after a week or so.

You have health insurance?
Just go to the doctor and have it checked for sure.
Pain when you apply pressure in not a good thing but it doesn't mean it's another hernia.

Have it checked.

 

[heatherrae]

sounds like it could be a hernia. You have to go get that checked pronto!

 

[Frisky]

strenuous activity will make it protrude ... kinda make a ball shape and it hurts like hell. I'd get it cheked asap

Get it checked soon but it's not usually a major issue. Usually outpatient surgery does the trick and you can't lift heavy for several weeks afterwards. They are common and some people just live the rest of their life with them. So are problems, some aren't.

The skin is red right over it now. It has to be a bug bite.

 

[heatherrae]

bug bite??? How big is the bump? If it is the size of a bug bite, I doubt we are talking about a hernia.

aaaaaaaaaaallllllll rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhttttt fine

any other symptoms? pain? irritation? redness? swelling? when did it start? did it change? when? how? how big is it - pea sized?

I tried to take a picture of it but it doesn't really show. It is not swollen or anything and started a little less than a week ago. It has gotten a little bigger now, went from a green pea to like a chick pea in size. It is tender to the touch and feels weird if I breath deep or stretch backwards.

Stop touching it.

"most" hernias hurt when:

1 - cough

2 - press on them and release

That's just your penis bro. When you hit puberty it will grow hair as well
