lump in neck location

Hello. I am a 34 year old male with no history of cancer in my family. I consider myself in good overall health except for maybe a suboptimal diet, and have no known diseases. I am worried about this soft lump on the right side of my neck that I found two days ago. From my estimation it is almost an inch in diameter, I can move it freely under the skin, and so far I don't feel any pain unless I squeeze it really hard.

I have had a painless lump in my neck for several years. It is on the left side in the same area where my lymph nodes typically swell up when I have a cold. It is behind the upper part of my jaw, below my ear. It is hard, painless (unless I press it rather hard), immovable and about an inch in size. I have had two doctors who have been aware of it, but dismissed it. The first one put me on antibiotics to make it go down, but they did not do anything.

I have a smaller lump in the top of my armpit ( if that location makes sense) it doesn't hurt nor is uncomfortable. But I worries me, I do have a cold so I'm not sure if it is a lymph node. What else could it be? Should I go see a doctor? And how should I ask my parents to see the doctor?

Lipomas occur in 1% of the population. They presumably arise from fat that may occur in the back, hips, neck or other parts in adults. An epidermal inclusion cyst is a sac like structure with skin debris inside. These types of swellings are usually not malignant. You should consult a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis is through physical findings. Sometimes a needle biopsy or a CT scan may be done to confirm the diagnosis or rule out any malignant changes.

I had a lump in the exact same location for years. It was just a cyst that I chose to ignore until a couple of years ago. I had a dermatologist remove it after another cyst I had in my back abscessed and became very painful. I didn't want to risk another experience like that so I had the cyst in my neck removed. If it doesn't grow or change you probably have nothing to worry about it, but if you want it removed you may want to see a dermatologist.

Hi, hoping to get some insight here, because I'm really afraid. It all started about three months ago with a feeling of a lump in my throat. Not an actual lump, but the feeling of one, right below where my adam's apple would be (I'm female though). I'd feel it on and off through the day, sometimes not so bad, and sometimes very noticeable. When I eat or drink anything it gets better though, the feeling of the lump goes away.

While putting lotion on my neck, I feel a tender lump directly under my chin. It is clearly above the thyroid. I wouldn't even consider it's location as being on my "neck". It is right under my chin before my neck/throat area begins. Please help!

Thank you Dr. Santos, Do you think the symptoms of my throat and my glands, and the pain that radiates in different parts of my neck are related? It seems that they should be, the "lump in throat" feeling started first, for about a week, and then the gland hurt in my neck, and then that stopped and traveled up to just below my ear, and then went over to just below my ear on the other side...

I noticed this weekend a big lump in neck between adams apple and base of neck; the lump moves when i swallow - went to er and it said swollen cartilage - i'm not comfortable with this diagnosis. Anyone else experienced this? thanks.

I have a lump on left side of neck size of a golf ball. Location is thyroid possibly. Above clavicle just left of windpipe area. moves with swallowing. Other possible symptoms include fatigue, pressure on left side when swallowing, headaches, slight cough at night not constant. Night sweats which soak my clothes and sheets.

it comes and goes but when it comes my neck hurts like when your neck gets stiff. help... the bump is visible. but is not red.

Im not totally sure that I even have this or that this is what the lump is that im feeling in my neck but it seems like the correct location. I have read that along with swallowing the lump should up and down. My small lump moves as well with swallowing except it seems to move from side to side. Does this mean that its something different? Does it not matter the direction of the movement? Either way I found this lump almost 8 months ago and it doesnt seem to have grown. Its pea size.

a rare reoccuring boil in my groin area aswell sinilair to the one on my back..comes and goes. But my neck lump has never shrunk. So my main question is..."what exactly can cause this? is it possibly cancer? can it be removed? is it potentionally life threatening? and can it cause all my fatigue, sleep issues appetite ect? thank you very much for your time...

i have recently had sharp pain in the center of my neck in the front, kinda where your throat would lump up if you were going to cry. i am suspicious it may have something to do with my thyroid. it is very uncomfortable and i can certainly wait it out for another week or so to see if the pain will go away. it is not a constant pain, however, when i feel the pain, it radiates. Does it sound like the thyroid or something else?

A big lump in my face has swollen up. It feels like a ridge of muscle or tissue about half an inch under my cheekbone (zygomatic arch) and two inches in from my left ear. Not really painful but just feels weird and have expereinced numb tingly feelings inb the past couple of months. But I only noticed this lump about 2 weeks ago. Doc says it's just fibrous tissue or possibly swollen lymph tissue (my gums have been irritated/slightly infected recently).

Exactly two weeks after this, I experienced pain in the left side of the back of my neck followed by a lump (a swollen gland) of the size of a marble. This lump (confirmed by my doctor) was located in the left side of my neck and went away within a few days. My questions 1) Should I have washed my penis before puting the condom on to have sex? Or regardless of this you would agree this was a low risk situation? 2) The lump in the neck is what scares me the most.

I have a 9 year old and he has a little lump in the right side of his neck. The lump is the size of a marble. there is no pain or anything but its been there for awhile. what would it be and what should I do?

I feel like something is in my throat when I eat and it hurts when I cough all the way up the right side of my neck to my right ear. My trachea hurts where the lump is pressing on it too. I cannot even get in to see the endocronologist for over two months for my first exam. I need some advice and information so I can be aware of what is happening to me and my options.

I'm a 16 year old female. I have what feels to be a 3 in. lump under the muscle of the right side of my neck that's been present for 2 years. It's in the middle of the side of my neck and slowly growing to the front of my neck. Doctors did an ultrasound plus blood work and saw nothing abnormal and said it's just me growing. There's no pain but it's uncomfortable and causes pressure on the inside my neck. Do you think it is from growing or something else?

I quit taking it Dec 07 and due to the fact that my ovary is still functioning I could not go on the the next medicine that I would have taken. I just found a lump in my neck which had been diagnosed as Breast Cancer recourrance. I still have one ovary which is still functioning. It was dicsucced that is should have been removed but they never did do it.
