Have a lump just under rib area few centimetres across feels soft and moves when i run my fingers over noticed it 12 months ago becoming tender?

Cyst.: This is most likely a benign cyst. Many individuals tend to develop these in the areas between or just adjacent to the ribs. I myself have. If the tenderness continues to worsen and you notice any other unusual features (discoloration of the skin, noticeable increase in size, warmth), it is advised you seek medical attention promptly. For peace of mind, you may wish to go ahead and see someone

See a doctor : You might need to see a doctor to decide what kind of lump yours is The tenderness could be either from examining the lump to often of placing pressure on it or it could the start of infection make sure there is no redness there that might suggest infection See a doctor that is the safest way
