What Causes Large Bump To Form Under Skin Which Doesn't Heart.

I just notice on my 7 year old daughter last night a lump under the skin on top of the left rub cage area. There is also a large vein that's going through it. I was wondering if she pulled a muscle because she does competitive cheer leading, but she says it doesn't hurt at all. Any thoughts I'm so worried!

hi,

thanks for your question.
you certainly need to have this lump checked out by a doctor soon who may want to arrange an ultrasound scan and some further investigations. most lumps like this in children are benign and so try not to worry to much until you have some further information.
best wishes
