My oldest son was freaking out last night because he found a small lump under his chest skin.... he’s freaking out and asking if it could be cancer...

I think my poor health (which isn’t cancer) has my poor kid on the fence about every thing medically with himself. No - he isn’t a hypochondriac- it just when something is out of place he worries about what it could possibly be. I made an apt with...

It's probably a lipoma...

It's just an over active cell that has multiplied into a small mass. Nothing to worry about. The doctor will know exactly what to do.

@KaysHealingPath yea, I know I freak out about things like this, odds are it is not serious but I just wanted to make sure you knew the possibilities some people don't realize men and boys can get breast cancer

I don't think it would help with a child, but I refuse to worry about something I can have no affect on. Maybe if you could find a way to in enfuse that kind of attitude into him it may help. But I'm not sure how you'd want to do that

We are much in the same boat, only with older children who are at the age when these things crop up. The only saving grace is that we were medical professionals who have seen a lot. My guess is maybe a clogged pore or a swollen gland. Although it happens I would say to him that major problems don't show up until later in life.
