I have a lump on top of my ribs a few inches below my left breast what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin lumps are commo: It could be a fatty tumor (lipoma)which are very common. Most such lumps are benign ..But others can be malignant . It all depends on the size and texture. If it is increasing in size over a period of one or two month, you should seek medical attention and get yourself checked.
