Is A Chest Lump Worrisome?

HiI have a small bump in my chest, right where the rib cages come together on top. It appears to be 1/2 inch or so, no pain at all - even when pushed. Easier to feel while standing up than lying down. Felt it for the first time yesterday while travelling in chinaShould I be concerned? Thank you!
