Hi, Just found a rock hard lump above my clavicle, right side of my neck. It doesnt move when I swallow or breathe and is about the size of a marble. I only noticed it because i was applying gel for a sore neck / headache. I used the gel 2 weeks ago (would have used it sooner but ran out) and the lump was not there before. My glands under my arms / throat are not sore nor is the lump unless I press on it lots of course. Is this just a swollen gland which I can ignore or should I see someone before Christmas. Just making sure I dont go in to see someone then find out it is something silly like a swollen gland that is very normal for that area. Thanks!
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Possible cause according to your history - hard lump, supra clavicle - its lipoma (fat contain lesion / lump).2. Only thing you have to do is do not squeeze or compress the lesion, leave it alone and monitor for few months if there is any change.3. Any growth or pain symptoms - attention needed otherwise you can ignore it.4.No disturbing in your mind - then get an ultrasound examination of the lesion - that will help to identify the nature of the lump, its source and extension.5. Maintain local hygiene. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
