For a few years I have had many small hard and solid bumps under the skin of my chest. They range all over the sternum area and a few on my upper pectoral region. I used to think that some formed and then went away, but I am not sure any longer. They don't give me any problem except when I start itching (not b/c it itches), the skin above the bump gets increasingly itchy. This is the only physical irritation I receive from them.

I have had a few bumps that have been in the same place for a long time, (months to more than a year). They are all raised above the skin but never get bigger than the circumfrence of an eraser on the back of a pencil, and aren't raised up more than a few millimeters.

I recently cut the skin off of one, and underneath looked like a white colored hard pocket, no pain involving the hard lump but the the skin around it was bleeding normally.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
