What Could Lumps Under Rib Cage?
My boyfriend was rubbing my side when he found something under my rib cage. They are, or it is, (as he is saying it is one long line), they are little lumps. When he pushed on a specific area I nearly jumped out of my skin, it didn t only hurt, but felt really weird. Then we checked the other side, exact same area and I have it over there too. Sorry to waste your time, I am a widow with no insurance or money, I apologize and thank you for your time.

thanks for sharing your health concerns with us!
well, it seems that it could be some neurofibroma or could be some cystic / inflammatory changes in a sebaceous cyst or a skin tag!
if you are worried much an FNAC TEST IS THE BEST WAY TO CONFIRM IT! but not to poke it as it can be infected.........
all the best......!
