Is Large Lump On The Chest A Causes For Concern?
Hi, I think I was being bitten by fleas/bed bugs in my previous home. I had two bumps on my chest particularly, one has not gone away and is comparable to the size of half of a pinky fingernail. The rest of my bites are smaller and are on the buttocks and legs, is this big one on my chest something to worry about? Is it possible a flea or bug is living in there? I can t seem to pop the bump I m not sure what to do about it.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having insect bites producing local allergy on the part.
Take Benadryl or cetrizine for 2-3 days.
Apply anti-allergy cream or caladryl lotion.
As bump on the chest is big there might be having some infection.
In this circumstances you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
