What Does A Lump On The Rib Cage Indicate?
Hi. I have a bruise on my torso high on my left ribcage. It just appeared last Monday. Now I see light circle in the middle about the size of a dime and there is a small pea sized bump in the center under the skin. The bruise about 2x3 inches. I don't remember even bumping that area. I was working in the yard about 4 days before I noticed the bruise and did have 2 ticks on me that I removed. I didn't see one in this location though.
