What Causes A Lump In Between The Rib Cage And Skin?
i have a lump inbetween my ribcage and skin, several inches under my breast. It does not hurt, and feels like there is liquid or something in it. It is about 1 inch all around. My friend said it is a fatty cyst. What is that, and what do I do about it. I do not have any insurance.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Looks like you have got a lipoma. Its a collection of fat that is benign and harmless.
If it is not hurting you, it can be left alone without ant complications.
Hope i have been helpful.
