How To Treat Chest Lump?
I have been reading forums about people with lumps on the middle of their chest. What s different in my case is the fact that it smells badly, but there is not leakage. It is however getting bigger than it was eight months ago. Do you think it could be a cyst? Should I be worried?

Hello,
It could be an abscess.
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.
If there is diagnostic confusion, you can opt for a fine needle biopsy to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
