I'm feeling this painful lump on my chest that really hurts when I press on it. I noticed that the muscle there feels uneven and doesn't seem normal compared to the other side. My right chest even looks bigger and kind of more girlish, with a darker brownish-pink color compared to the left side, which seems normal. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing these changes?
