What Could Be The Reason For Having A Lump Under My Left Breast On My Rib Cage?
I have a lump about the size of a soft ball under my left breast on my rib cage. Its soft and squishy and feels kind of like a water balloon under my skin. There are no lesions, but it is sore. I had x rays and they came back negative for broken bones. I am 15 years old 179 pounds and 5'2.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Xray cant show soft tissues well and you should do ultrasound to check the exact diagnosis but in your age this is usually just some benign subcutaneous cyst or lipoma or ateroma and you should not be worried. if there is pain and redness around it you should visit doctor and do further tests as soon as possible.
Wish you good health. Regards
