    WTF is this knot on my chest?!

    Ok fellas here goes,
    I went to the gym yesterday and did back and bi's. Did Post wrokout cardio and hit the tanning bed for a few minutes. When I got home and took my shirt off, there is this pea sized knot in the center of my sternum. It wasnt there when I changed at the gym before training....WTF? It is not red or attached. It kinda just floats so it isnt attached to the sternum. It didnt hurt too bad but now is painful but only if i touch it. (thought it was a runaway zit but now i dont think it is any sort of acne.) Anyone had this symptom before? I am currently running a very mild cycle. I am in week four of a 14 week 600cyp/600EQ with a-50 frontload. What the fuk is this thing?!

    After a quick Google search, I found a few individuals with a similar "pea-sized" floating knot that either turned out to be a floating cyst or a swollen gland. Other than that, I cannot imagine it being gear related but you may want to head to a dermatologist to have it checked out just in case.

    EDIT: Can't spell. LOL

    I googled it as well and found the same thing. It seems to be pretty common.
    I figured I'd post in case somebody else had similar issues and it turned out to be the gear. I actually have a buddy who get big ass knots on his back and shoulders when he uses Cyp. Guess I'll just keep an eye on it and see what happens. If it doesnt subside, I'll go to the doc.

    Thanks for the reply bro.

    No problem at all bro. This may be weird to ask but do you have a hairy chest lol? I know that sometimes an ingrown hair can cause similar situations as well which could be a link to the gear as some people can grow some pretty heavy amounts of body hair. Just figured I'd ask cause it could be something as simple as that but def get it checked out if it is still around in the next few days. Good luck brother.

    dumb question but do you inject in your chest. I do sometimes I get a knot from the injection that seems to last longer then other locations.

    I do inject in my chest but havent in the past couple of weeks. I have that same issue sometimes but this is not the same. It is located dead in the center of my sternum.

    After I trained today, I noticed it was a bit smaller. Not alot, but noticebale.
    It is also way more tender to the touch. If its not better by monday, Im getting this biotch checked out!

    Nailed it. Went to the doc today due to it not being gone. Skin surrounding it started to peel a bit too. Doc says cystic acne and it will go away. Said since it is localized and no more are popping up, it could just be a rare happening.

    He did say to watch it closely. Sometimes lymphoma gets diagnosed as cystic acne to begin with.

    Thanks bro's!

    could be cartilage that detached from your sternum where a rib connects... could have happened due to you pushing harder than your body is used to during cycle.
