Firm Lump under the skin near Belly Button?

Hello!

I'm new here. I'm sorry if I do anything wrong. I was just looking for some help identifying a lump under my belly button. It's just under the skin, in the fatty tissues, yet it feels firm, like a green bean, say. It's longer than it is wide but it's not very big. Maybe two fingers long, and not quite one wide. 

I've noticed it for the past 2 or so weeks and I am unsure if it is getting bigger. So it either isn't or isn't growing quickly. 

I have anxiety disorder so seeing a Doctor is nerve wrecking, nevermind when I have to try and find something that even I have trouble finding sometimes. If you press down alone it is hard to find, but if you pinch you can find it. It moves under your fingers. 

I am unsure if it is a fatty/calcium deposit, limpoma, something more serious... I'd just like some help, please. 

Thank you!
