What Causes Lump On Chest?

Hi, I realize what a completely ridiculous question this is, but I have a lump that has grown on my chest. Under the skin, not on top. I assumed it was a giant zit, but its gotten larger, and has a very faint odor Does cancer have a smell? (I swear I m not usually a hypochondriac)
