Suggest treatment for a lump in the chest
Patient: A lump on the centre of my chest, its about an inch or so long and its fucking solid it seems movable the depending on how I sit or lay down, its under the skin like attached to the bone it seems,. It appeared a few days ago, it’s not itchy or discoloured but its painful as I said  and it seems to be bigger than when I first noticed it I ain’t sure what it is cysts aren’t sore and their squishy this is sore and its not sqwishy Doctor: Welcome to health care magic. 1.The possible cause could be infective aetiology, probably hair follicle infection with collection with in.2.In this case after examination one has to rule out the involvement of chest wall so after examination an ultrasound will help.3.Ulrasound will help to describe the nature of the lesion, its extension. And a lateral chest chest x-ray to rule out bony involvement. 4.Even before a course of antibiotic can tried, on not responsive state you can go for the above investigations.5.AS A REMEDY - do no squeeze the lump, as you will only complicate and delay its healing process, leave it alone that way it will heal better with medication. Good luck.Hope i have answered your query.Any thing to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
