Q: red lump on chest

Please help me! I have this red bump on my chest that has been there as long as I can remember. 3-5 years now? It's raised and red. It does not ooze anything nor has it ever bled. I don't even remember it happening. I think it was a pimple I kept picking at. It's smooth and creates no pain or discomfort, except sometimes when my clothes rubs against it the wrong way it irritates it. It's a pretty small bump. I tried looking up what it could be but all that pops up is skin cancer. Which I'm terrified of. Could that be it? I don't really meet any of the symptoms of cancer though. When I told a dermatologist about what it was she said it just looked like a whole bunch of tissue cause I kept picking at it over and over again. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

I have the same thing!
This is the only thing I've read that is anything similar to what I have. I have exactly what you are describing. It's a smal roundish red raised lump on the upper center part of my chest. Someone told me breast cancer wouldn't be located there. I have no idea what it is...but it just showed up one day about a year ago.

CHERRY ANGIOMA?
i think i have the same thing. CHERRY ANGIOMA. it's a cluster of blood vessels or something like that. only in rare cases when they're numerous do they suggest liver damage and has nothing to do with cancer, thank god. hope that helps?
