Lump at sternum: May be a bite, allergic reaction of unclear origin, bump due to itching , itching from prickly heat, ringworm w/ itching (fungus) but also must consider lesions in the lung/breast, check CXR, mammogram. Rarely liver conditions can cause itching (and the bump from itching) but most have known liver disease. Would try topical steroid/ antifungal . F/u/ w/ doc
