Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Ribcage

Hello ,I am a 33 year old male. I recently discovered a harder lump about the size of a quarter on my stomach, just below the rib cage. It is kind of a purple color. It is somewhat painful when u touch it, but I don t really feel it during the day , and it doesn t bother me. I thought it was possibly an ingrown hair, but I cannot see any hair follicle, and I have had this for about three weeks. I m not sure what it is and I m not sure how to treat it. Thank you

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have soft tissue tumor arising from abdominal wall or some other mass. You should go for ultrasound abdomen to know exact locationand origin. Then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology Iif nneeded. Then take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
