What Could The Bump On Chest Near The Breast Be?
Hi Doctor, I am a male aged 45 and I have a sore and it's like a bump that came out 2 days ago. The bump is on my chest and it's shaped like a egg and it's very sore. The bump is inside of the skin located on my left side near my heart (breast area) I cant touch it it is very sore. I had a X-ray and there wasn't anything visible. What is the problem ?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection giving rise to abscess formation or infected sebaceous cyst.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
