I'm 23 years old, female. 2 days ago I observed a small lump on my sternum. It's barely visible and it's not painful at all. However the lump seems to be growing/spreading. What could this possibly be?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Without seeing and examining there is nothing we can tell About it. So better to get it checked out by a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management. He will tell you what it is. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
