What Causes Painless Lump Under Ribcage?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...okay so a few weeks back I was applying lotion to my torso and I felt this weird lump on the right side just under my ribcage. Kind of feels soild, moves a little like rubber and when I pushed on it I feel nausea. I do lay on this side a lot and I have no health conditions. I am a bit overweight and I have recently lost some weight about thirty pounds. I do also take adderall 20 xr for add. I made an appointment....just feeling scared and concerned....any suggestions as to what this may be or am I over thinking this. The lump isn't painful but like I said it causes nausea when touched or pressed on

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. Or you may have some liver disease. Ypu should go for ultrasound study first. Itcwill givr you some idea about lump. Then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump if needed. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
