Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have found a small lump around the size of my little finger nail, under my right rib cage. It moves and a small bruise has formed around it. There is no pain if anything it itches. Is this just a clump that will go away or a reaction to a insect bite?
The symptoms seem to be related to an insect bite. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Benadryl to relieve the itching. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
