What Could Have Caused Small, Fixed, Hard Lump On A 10 Months Old Chest?
We have recently noticed a small, fixed, hard lump on our 10 month old son s chest. It s just below where the ribcage ends, and central. It sticks out quite prominently when he is held up under the arms, but we ve not noticed it until recently so we don t think it s been there since he was born. What could it be?
