So I have a small pea sized lump that is very tender to touch on the front of my neck. With a soft touch it feels hard but I can actually squish it down. I ve seen others ask questions about the same sort of thing but no one has said it is something that has happened before. I get it about once every 6 months to a year and it only seems to happen when I m stressed. What could it be?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Most likely it is a benign tumor. There are very many organs and structures in the front of the neck, and the lump could arise from any of these which could be known only by a physical examination. Therefore, I would rather advise you to take an appointment from a general surgeon, and get it reviewed, following which he may go for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lesion and then manage according to the reports of the tests. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
