What Causes Raised Bump In Chest?

Hi,I have a raised bump on my chest that does not itch or hurt. pink in color, approximately a size of an eraser head but irregular in shape. It appeared earlier this week and I thought I was going to get a pimple there, but has not turned into one and does not hurt at all. it is not in an area that gets rubbed either. it is approx 1.5 in below clavicle and 3 in from midline. Any thoughts? Thanks! Katherine

HI
Well come to HCM
The swelling that you have noticed could be the lipoma and you need to keep eye open for this, for any changes like size and shape, clinical symptoms, if this is lipoma then this is nothing to worry for the cosmetic purpose this can be removed, hope this helps.
