i have a bump on my left side between my boob and my armpit.
it hurts when i press on it and i've gotten muscle knots there before on my arms from working out but i havent worked out lately and it doesnt feel like one.
also, when i look at it from the side it is swollen, and bigger than my other side.
and it has been there for a couple days now.

my mom just got done with treatment for breast cancer, but i'm only 16 and a half.


any ideas of what it could be or how i could make it better?

Thanks!
 
This bump could be a cyst (an example only), or even a lymph node (another example only).

I would recommend letting your mom know what's going on as well as your dad so that they can help you keep an eye on the situation.
 
Cancer is no respecter of ages, however I believe that lump may be nothing but a fatty cyst <layman's name for it>. I don't know the medical term.
I have several. They're just under the skin, annoying, hurt when pressed...but non lethal. They can be removed surgically.

if you continue to have concerns, see your doc.

edit: did some research med term is 'lipoma'...a bening tumor
