What Could Be The Reason For Having A Lump In Chest?
Hi, i had a lump in chest like a spot but wouldnt go away, eventually i thought this was a cyst as i had a cyst removed on my back a while ago.
Anyway i looked lastnight and it seemed to have a white head so squeezed and squeezed and out came a long line of stringy stuff that smelt what is it?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
That was most probably a sebaceous cyst, which you have drained partially.
Now you need to see a surgeon to get it completely excised or else it will reoccur or may even get infected.
