Hello, I want to ask about lumps I have in my neck and armpit, about 8weeks ago I noticed a small hard non moving lump behind my left ear, still there and I dont think its changed in size, after a few weeks I was getting worried so checked other places I found a lump behind my right ear that is hard like bone non moveable and has defiantly grown in size, I found one on the back of my neck slightly to the left that is firm non moveable but hasnt changed and also one in my armpit, that is pea sized and movable, I went to the dr 2 weeks ago who didnt seem concerned but did a full blood count whicChatDoctore back fine. Didnt say when to return or for a follow up. I feel very tied, have noticed I have an itchy scalp (100% no lice and dont see any evidence of infection on it) people have commented on how skinny and tied I look. Im a a 26 year old mother of 2, a smoker and I weight about 8 - 8 1/2 stone and have had a few cases of tonsillitis in the last 12 months but nothing for about 4 months, any advice?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. History suggests that there are multiple enlarged lymph nodes in neck, axillary region.2. Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in presence of infection / inflammation in local or systemic causes. One of the possible cause could be the recent tonsillitis. 3. In this case an ultrasound examination will help to know the nature of the lumps, its source and where are extending.4. An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will help to give a definitive diagnosis.5. Avoid smoking, take healthy food, with the scan and results, one can start the treatment if required. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
