What Causes Increasing Bump Under The Skin Near Chest?

my boyfriend has a hard bump under the skin on the left of his chest about an inch under his nipple.. the doctor touched it and told him it was probably just calcium build up. this was over a year ago and he is now saying that he thinks it has gotten a little bigger he said it doesnt hurt at all or effect him in anyway should we get a second opinion and a chest scan or something done. i am worried that it could be something else and would like a couple of opinions as to what else it might be if it is not calcium build up.. thank you he is 35, 6 foot and 146lbs
