Suggest Treatment For Lump Between Breasts
Hi I have a pea sized lump on the lower part on my sternum between my breasts, It feels quite deep in my skin and hard around the actual lump. No pain, a little redness where I have tried to squeeze it! Could this be a cyst? Im 27 year old female who is in good health

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If this lump is not attached to any breast, most probably this is a benign skin lesion like lipoma or sebaceous cyst. Both lesions do not cause cancer. Both can be removed with small incision.
I suggest you to have an ultrasound of the lump area. As a next step please consult a surgeon.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
