I have a lump growing under the skin above my left ribs. it is soft (feels like fat tissue)- recently started hurting. have had chronic cough x1 yr.

Probable lipoma: The lump is probably a lipoma, which is a benign fat tumor. If you see a dermatologist, they can usually tell you whether it could be anything else and whether it it worth removing it.
