What Causes Chest Pain And Itching Lump On Back?
I have had a shooting pain in my chest for 2 weeks now. Have bben checked at A&E and heart is fine. The pain has continued and was planning to go and see my doctor after the holidays, but today, this evening, a large lump, hard and itchy has appeared on my back. Incidently, the pain in my chest seems to have disappeared. Any suggestions? I m thinking of going to the A&E

Hi
It could be Infected sebaceous cyst.
I prefer to remove the swelling and send it for histopathological examination.
Please consult your doctor, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.
Wish you good health.
