Hi,
Your neice may be having sebaceous cysts in area under left breast. These cysts are benign. They contain cheesy material. They might be infected with bacteria. And that is why they must be removed surgically under local anaesthesia. It is a minor surgical procedure done in OPD. So, you consult dermatologist or surgeon.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
