So about five to seven years ago, I noticed a small bump on my chest right above my stomach but below my ribs.
I've ignored it thinking it was just a cyst, as I was only 23 at the time.
It doesn't portrude much from my skin because it's deep. I could only notice it by moving my hand over my skin, and squeezing. There's no discoloration, but it's there.
Now that I'm 30, it's starting to scare me. I'd say it's slightly smaller than an inch wide now. It doesn't move.
It's pretty hard, but not like a rock.
There are possibly more of them, I'm not sure. A picture would be useless because you can't really see it even though it's so large. My skin goes from being soft, to being hard and you see it slightly portrude from the surrounding area.
How scared should I be or how fucked am I? If it was a cyst, I can't imagine it getting so large. Plus, looking at them on youtube they're more like pimples that you can pop. This is pretty deep.
Looks like this, but smaller and in the middle of my chest. Uh oh.
"Slow growing painless mass."
Yeah. Apparently it can be malignant or benign? You can have benign cancer? Is that cancer that doesn't spread?
