Am I okay? I have a bump.?


Question:
I have a samll bump on the side of my neck right behind the top of my jaw. probably 1 cm in diameter

It's not visible from the outside. But my sister check it out and said that she would not notice it but if i told her the area, and if she looked close enough than she would notice that the skin is a bit darker than the rest.

I can feel the bump and it does not hurt when i press it, i do not know how long i have had it.

Answers:
Probably swollen lymph node. Should be gone in a week.

HMmmmmm..no clue what it is but as always..GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR .A.S.A.P!!

It's probably a cyst. I get them all the time, and they just go away. You might go to the doctor if you are concerned, though. Sometimes even if it is a cyst they are able to drain it. if it gets worse then you might want to go to the doctor and get it checked out.


Get it checked out by your general practitioner. Note the size and shape and watch it closely. most likely it's nothing but better safe than sorry.


go to a doctor and find out if it is just a zit on the inside or if it is something serious.

if it stays have a dr. look at it so you dont have to worry. The problem with things like this is that you can never really know. You have two options: hope it's nothing and do nothing or go to a doctor and find out for sure. I would recommend going to a doctor and being sure before it's possibly too late, but i am a real pessimist about these kinds of things.


When in doubt, always see a doctor. It may be something as simple as a cyst. But it's best to let a professional tell you.


Sounds like a swollen lymph gland , any other symptoms fever, loss of appetite, nauseous, vomiting..Get it checked out right away by a Doctor. Swollen glands are usually indicative of infection!

Maybe you got biten by something such as a mosquito, spider, flea, or some other bug. Or it could be an allergic reaction. Or maybe its your lymph nodes that are swollen, they get like this when you are fighting a cold. If it doesnt go away in a few days you should just go to the doctor to get it checked out. If this happened to me, I would make an appointment with my dermatologist. I don't take any chances. It may be serious or it may only be a pimple. Here is what I would NOT do: ask people on this site about it. You may only want to hear someone say "don't worry about it." Nobody on this site is a doctor, believe me!! Please make an appointment with a dermatologist as soon as possible so that you will get it looked at by a real doctor, not your sister or your friends. They love you but they are not educated in the field of dermatology. Good luck, friend.


It could possibly be a lymph node. keep an eye on it. If it gets bigger, sore or bothers you then I would make Dr.s appt. If you smoke that could be another reason to be more aware of its progress


I had the same thing. It is a swollen lymph node and you said that it doesnt hurt. Well mine turned into a bad swollen throat to where you can't talk nor open your mouth at all. If I was you I would go to the hospital and get it checked out just incase. Even though it doesn't hurt now it may end up hurting.
