Question Red squishy lump on stomach? Help!

Hi guys.
I'm really worried about Scrub. I only noticed it yesterday but she has a pink lump on her belly just above and to the right of her privates.
It's squishy to the touch and it doesn't seem to be bothering her in the slightest, not when I touch it, she's her normal self, still eating, drinking etc. She hasn't changed a bit.
It kinda looks like swelling but i'm not sure.
I tried to take some pictures but you can't really see it very well but its above and to the right.

Please - if anyone has any idea what this is, let me know. I'm really worried
Thank you.

It could be a little infection in her nipple there. Could she have rubbed it on anything or could it have been bruised in a fall or anything?
If it does not disappear in a day or so I would have it checked out. If it starts to swell or discharge then get her seen sooner.
Hope she is OK xx

I agree with souffle, my syrian Butterball who recently passed (God rest her beautiful soul), had something similar develop on one of her upper nipples. The lump got smaller and smaller, and eventually went away. I would keep an eye on it, but try to refrain from any unnecessary touching. Hope she feels better! x

Maybe, she climbs around her cage a lot and often falls and hits her foodbowl, sometimes bashes herself on the corner of her shelf.
Thank you - I was so worried it was something awful. Phew!
But yeah i'll definitely keep an eye on it.
Thanks for the advice.
