Hard Lumps On Stomach And Chest, Not Painful. Should I Be Concerned?
Question: I have 4 hard lumps on my stomach and chest. One is the size of 3 peas (or a Lima bean) ant the others pea sized. They are not painful. I have had the big one for at least a year and the other come over the last few months. Should I be concerned?
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Any swelling over body needs further evaluation.
Based on your description and locations, its likely to be benign swellings such as a lipoma.
In any case, however, a clinical examination is recommended to rule out the possibility of malignant growths.
In my opinion, you must consult a doctor who can examine you. A careful examination is sufficient to differentiate benign from malignant.
A biopsy will be recommended for definitive confirmation..
Hope this answers your query.
Please get back if you need any further information.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
