A member asked:
Hard, painful (feels like a big bruise) lump in between breasts - seemingly on sternum. does not move. 2-3in from clavicle. should i get this checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Truly this hard, painful lump on your sternum could possibly be a hematoma (bruise). However, you would likely remember any trauma that may have caused such a lump. Without any recent trauma to the chest wall, i recommend having it checked asap.
