[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The possible cause could be infective lump which causing pain on touch and chest movements. Hair follicle infection will be in the first place and then the infective collection / abscess.2. In this case I would have examined the patent and ask for an ultrasound examination - which is investigation of choice.3. Ultrasound will assess the nature of the lump its source and extensions.4. In case of mass lesion an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology needed to assess the nature of the cells involved.5.in case of infective collection, a small incision and Chat Doctor.  Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/
