Large spot on stomach above appendix area

---

So, I have this largish spot developing on the lower right of my stomach, about where my apendix is. I'm overwight so it's on top of layer of fat between it and my internals, lol! The spot head is a little tender, but I'm worried because of where it is and the size... the skin around it is also slightly red. If I push down on it, I don't feel any pain, and there's no internal pain around the area or anything like that. Hopefully, it's just a random spot... but do you think I should be worried or get it checked out? I know appendix issues can be dodgy, but I dont want to go to the doctor for him to just say, 'uh, its a spot, stop wasting my time'...

Cheers

If you're worried about appendicitis, don't worry - a diseased appendix is painful, but there's no mark on the outside. My guess is that it's a sebaceous cyst, caused when a sebaceous gland gets blocked and keeps producing sebum and swelling up. They are often seen where clothes rub, so the waistband area is quite possible. If it's a sebaceous cyst is should go down and disappear in a couple of months.

The appendix is deep inside, under a lot of layers of stuff. As Ineligible said, you're not going to see any mark on the skin from an appendix problem.
