Need to see your doc: Only a doctor's examination can clarify what it is. Any lump, if it is new and it is real, means something is wrong. It can be an infection(skin) or it could be something else.

I have lump in my chest. Its been there since 2020 I had a chest X-ray back then came back clean. Its about 2 1/2 to 3 inches below the bone of my neck above my left breast. Could this be cancer? It hurt then. Now 2 days ago I started having pain?
