A member asked:

I have a lump on my left side about 2in below my breast it is soft but tender to the touch and does not move?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it checked: Typically cancerous lumps are hard, painless and does not move around. It is probably a boil or a swollen oil gland called a sebaceous cyst.
