on three occasions in the last 12 months i have noticed a bump on my upper chest just below the collarbone. the bump is soft / spongy and looks like a vein. each time as soon as i press on the bump it goes away, there is also no pain associated.I went to the doctor however they said they could do nothing as it was already gone. I'm a 28 year old male with no other conditions other than some IBS.

I've attached pictures. at first i was concerned because i thought it was a lymph node however the fact that it will pop up randomly and rarely, and disapear when i push it makes me doubt that. any help is appreciated

    I would suggest that you leave it alone and not press it and go and see your GP while its raised and take the picture if it goes downhill.

    i personally would not consider doing anything via email as if they cannot examine it or manipulate it how can they know what it is.

    Go see your doctor again but i think its probably a cyst of some kind and will be nothing to worry about

    Let us know
