What Causes A Hard Knot On The Side Of The Chest Under The Skin?

I have a hard knot on the right side of my chest under the skin. Does not move with skin. It is sore to touch, or not. Near center toward collar bone, above breast. I thought it was heartburn Monday...found the knot Thursday. Dr appointment set for Monday AM. Want to not worry so much until then!

Hi. I can understand your concern.
The lump needs a detailed evaluation and examination. If it is due to infection then may resolve with antibiotics.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
