Hi,
my friend is a 13 year old male and he plays a lot of guitar.
He recently discovered a painful bump near the center of his chest.
It has a faint red tone to it, and its about 3 inches high and 2 inches thick, it moves semi freely. Ive searched other sites but i cant find an answer and i wanted to know if you can help. He is very worried and doesnt know what to do

hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
