I have a lump (knot) on my sternum, should I be concerned?


Question:
I just found a knot on my sternum between my breasts, but closer to the right one. It wasn't sore until I found it, and then I began to push on it at times, and now it is sore. Should I be concerned, and what could be the problem?

Answers:
I would go to the doctor if i were you. It might be nothing...but not getting it checked out is not good.
There are many possibilities, it could well be no more than an innocent keloid - this in black race mainly- . A doctor can take a biopsy if in doubt.
