I've had a lump on my chest for a few months now, and it's pressing on my esophagus because sometimes I have trouble swallowing food. It feels like it's right under the skin, maybe on the middle chest bone at the bottom. It's about an inch in diameter, soft, moving, and not painful. Im wondering if it could be a Lipoma since I have other similar lumps on my arms and thighs that haven't caused problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor in person yet because of Covid. Do you think this is likely a benign, noncancerous tumor? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

I'm 20 and have fibroadenoma with multiple small lumps in both breasts but one is bigger and needs open surgery I'm worried about scars since I'm not married yet are there any treatments that won't leave marks on my breasts
For the fibroadenoma requiring surgery, the main concern is scarring. While complete avoidance of scarring is impossible, minimally invasive techniques and careful surgical practices can minimize the visible marks. For the smaller, multiple fibroadenomas, cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy might be suitable options.

my wound from fistula surgery hasn't healed even after 60 days and there's still a bit of pus coming out my doctor says it's normal and will take time but I'm worried should I be on antibiotics to stop the pus
While your doctor's statement about delayed healing and pus discharge after fistula surgery being normal may be true in some cases, it's important to address your concerns. Pus drainage can be a sign of infection, and a delayed healing time could also indicate an underlying issue. It's recommended to discuss your concerns and the possibility of antibiotics with your doctor. They can assess the situation, determine if antibiotics are necessary, and guide you on the best course of action for your specific case
