Why Do I Have Lumps On My Chest?

I have 3 hard lumps on my chest - / to bottom near sternum and one just below breast area. I'm a 35 yr male
2 are pea sized 1 about size of small finger nail
They don't hurt, and you can't notice them unless you touch. Also have one on my back - this is about the size of a marble

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Most probably these lumps , which are painless and have been noticed almost simultaneously are lipomas.
There is chance that these can be sebaceous cysts or other forms.
The best way to get a diagnosis is to do get them checked by a Surgeon , who on clinical examination can tell.
Another option is to do FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology.
IF you are worried get them all excised.
