Weird, Er, Spot Thing?

Not sure if this really belongs here, it's no immediate threat, but anyway.
Godfrey has a spot on his belly, he doesn't squeak when I touch it, but any clues as to what it is? He's had it a couple of weeks now, I think, and it's not increased in size. Is it just one of those things?

Can you please post a picture? Your description is too vague, sorry!

It could possibly be a nipple but we need to see a photo please

Without a photo @TheCavySlave it would be pure guesswork. Can you get a photo of it?

 

[TheCavySlave]

That's the problem, it would be REALLY difficult to capture a photo but I'll try!

It could be his belly button if it is right in the centre of his belly & it is very small, one of mine had a more prominent one than the others

Guinea pigs usually have hairless areas around their nipples and in some guinea pigs the bellybutton is more noticeable, but it's very hard to say without a picture to look at!

Deffo not a nipple, it's super small and above the nipples- I tried a photo but Godfrey tried to eat my chin and the quality was terrible, so I'll try a describe it.

It's masked by fur, and it may well be black. I can't tell if it's under the skin or even something stuck to his fur. It's smaller than a pinhead, I think, but when I was checking his skin for his weekly check, I ran over a bump and that's how I found it. It doesn't cause him pain, but he doesn't like me touching his belly, of course!
It could be a belly button- it's in the middle a little way above the nipples.

Sounds like his belly button then Just keep an eye on it, run your finger over it regularly & see a vet if it gets bigger etc
