A hard lump on one side of the chest

A girl's breasts will undergo significant changes during puberty. At this time, the breasts begin to develop and there will be a lump in the breast that will be painful when touched. This is normal and will disappear after the breasts mature. If lumps appear outside of this period, parents should pay attention. The following article analyzes several possible causes of chest lumps. Let’s take a look.

Careful parents will discover some distress and abnormal conditions in their children during the growth and development process. For example, some parents found a lump in one of their children's breasts. What is going on? Next, I will provide you with some suggestions for reference.

1. If a lump is found on the breast, the first thing to do is to see whether it occurs on a boy or a girl. If there are some abnormalities in a boy, it is recommended that the family check whether the child has any external injuries. If not, take the child to a regular hospital to check whether there is a possibility of a tumor.

2. Girls' breasts generally begin to develop between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, they may feel breast tenderness, and a harder lump may be felt under the nipple and areola, which may cause mild pain when touched. This is normal and family members do not need to worry too much. Currently, with different eating and living habits, many children develop too early. If a six-year-old child experiences this, it is indeed precocious. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor.

3. Inflammation causes local swelling of the breast. If a child's chest, ribs, etc. are infected with inflammation, local swelling may also occur. At this time, you should take your child to the doctor in time to verify the cause of the inflammation and infection and receive treatment in time.

To sum up, we have learned some reasons that may cause breast lumps. For your reference only, we hope that parents will pay more attention to their children’s daily eating habits. They should not eat junk food, artificially ripened vegetables and fruits, or fruits that are picked before they are naturally ripe. These bad eating habits will cause hormone levels in children to become disordered, thus affecting their normal growth and development. I hope more parents will pay attention to this.
