What Causes Oval Shaped Soft Movable Lump Above Right Side Rib?

Ive noticed a oval shape soft movable lump above right side rib area. This was noticed a couple of days . I was diagnosised with melonoma six years ago and have had a right femur mole removed then and they were able to get it all. Have had followups and no recurrence. Also' recently i have noticed discomfort between my shoulder blades. Should i be concerned?

I DON'T THINK SO. THIS MAY BE A COLD ABSCESS DUE TO TUBERCULOSIS .THERE IS A REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF THIS BEING A METASTASIS OF MELANOMA ALSO. THEREFORE IT IS ADVISABLE TO GO BACK TO YOUR SURGEON WHO HAD DIAGNOSED MELANOMA . HE MAY BE WELL ABLE TO TREAT YOUR TUBERCULOSIS IN CSE IT WERE SO.
THANK YOU.
