What Is That Small Ball In The Center Of My Chest?

I am an 18 year old female who recently has been having problems with a small ball in the center of my chest. There is no redness, just painful to touch. The ball is about the size of a grape and hard. I have been noticing this problem for the past 7 months.

thanks for your question

you need to consult a surgeon who can examine the swelling and if needed he can request for a FNAC which can lead to a certain diagnosis

no need to panic

small swelling in this area can be a ganglion or a lipoma or a keloid which are just stable

thanks
