What Causes A Hard Lump Under The Collar Bone?

Hi im a 21 year old female. i recently notice a hard lump under my left collarbone. i went to the doctor and she told me it was a muscle. but it feels swollen. i do press on it alot. is it normal to have an upper uneven chest with muscles even if i dont work out? i also started to press on my right side too and i feel a lump. it feels like a bone. but i dont know. if i keep pressing on my upper chest, is it possible im just causing harmless pain to it. do i have anything to worry about?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.You said that a doctor has examined and said its muscle mass, but you still feel that there is some thing there.
2.In this case what i would recommend is get a chest x-ray (PA view / Apicogram ) and and ultrasounds scan of the muscle / lump area ( gives us exact content and involving structures)
3.No uneven muscle without workup is not possible.
4.If it is not painful and not causing discomfort - you can ignore.
5.If you do have symptoms, get the above mentioned investigations done - They will help you to conclude and confirm.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
