What Causes Bumps On Rib Cage Area?
Several months ago I had a small bump on my left side on top of my rib cage. I thought it was a mosquito bite and it came to a head and oozed fluid then it went away. Now it is back and very sore. I can move it around but it has not come to a head. Can this be a cyst?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having infected sebaceous cyst giving problem again.
Once it get opened and drained it feels normal but as it is a cyst there is collection of infected exudate in sac producing recurrence.
Consult surgeon and get e3xamined.
Ok and take care.
