HI,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM.1-I have studied your query in depth.2-IN my opinion, this medium hard lump on left chest above nipple with yellow bruise for a week , appears to be -hematoma -if any recent trauma is there, which you havent clarified -as the bruise could be after some trauma only.3-The yellow hallow around the lump -is the recovering induration and should not worry you much.4-On Hardness of the lump -I would advise-a-NSAID ,b-Surgeons conultation , c,-not to worry, as it would resolve in 2 wks time with proper care as told above.5-I would advise you to consult ER surgeon URGTLY-as the severe pain could be damaging to your testes.5-Hope this would solve your query to your satisfaction.6-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.7-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
