What Causes Lump On The Left Side Of The Chest?

I m concerned for my 7 year old daughter. She has a pea size hard dark colored lump on the left side oh her chest. It doesn t bother her. Only when I try to examine it. It has been there for a few months now. Should I be concerned. No other symptoms or complaints. Thanks

Hi..if it is not hurting her and bothering her it is not an emergency. But as it appeared recently, I suggest you have it examined by a physician. The red flag signs include - sudden increase in size, pain and discoloration and similar lesions appearing elsewhere on the body.
