How To Treat A Lump On The Right Collarbone?
I just discovered a lump on my right collarbone (mid-clavicle). The bone feels smooth along the top, but there is a pronounced lump coming from underneath it and seeming to wrap around. It is very hard, but difficult to tell whether it is bone or firm tissue. I have no idea how long it has been there. I am a 28 year old female with no history of trauma, and I have no other symptoms. I am mildly obese with large breasts, if that is relevant- maybe a fat deposit? (although it seems a bit too firm for that). I won t have insurance for another 3 weeks, and I am concerned.

Hi as per your history it can is suggestive of some benign soft tissue tumour may be a lipoma.As such it is not causing any symptoms to you so no need to worry about.But still you can get some preliminary investigations done to rule out any other cause.
