Hi, I m a 27yr old female. I ve had a lump on the back right side of my neck for about 2 1/2yrs. It s about 1.5in height and 1in wide. It s given me pain and a tingly sensation off and on ever since it came up. I feel like I also have one deep in the back of my left thigh which aches sometimes. I ve been told it s probably a lipoma. I ve also had drenching night sweats off and on for a couple years and more recently it s been every night. I keep my room very cool and a fan blowing directly on me. I m not overweight either so idk what this is. Any advice on what s going on would help! Thanks!
Hello. Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I'm a pathologist. The lump you have sounds like an enlarged lymph node. Since you have night sweats as well, I am suspecting there is an ongoing infection. The best next step for you would be to undergo an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) procedure, wherein the cells in the lump will be aspirated to examine, for the diagnosis. Also, you could do a complete blood count as well. Let me know what the reports are, so I can help you further. Have a happy health.
