Hello XXXXXXX,

Thanks for posting your query,

This bump over left chest of your son seems to be lipoma/ subcutaneous fibroma.

These are basically knots of fibrous or mysenchymal tissue.

This does not cause any harm and you have not to worry about that.

This is just a developmental anomaly and it does not need removal unless you wish for it due to cosmetic purposes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have more concerns.

Regards.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
