What Causes A Lump Under The Skin In Shoulder Region?

noticed my son has a pea size lump on his left shoulder. The lump is just under skin, and looks greenish blueish in color. and it hurts when i touch it. it moves and feels like a marble.. He did fall off his bike a few times prior to noticing the lump when he had his shirt off last night.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Greenish and bluish color of the lump indicates that this might be just a bruise or blood collection (hematoma) caused by recent injuries. Pain indicates an inflammation in this area.
In such area also benign skin lesions like a cyst or lipoma can be also present, however neither the color or pain are not characteristic for this issues.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue. IN case of doubts, ultrasound should be done.
Hematoma should be drained with needle.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
