I am a 65 year old female.  On a 10 mile hike a week ago, I tripped and landed on my chin.  The scrapes have disappeared but I have a hard pea sized lump on the point of my chin bone.  It seems to be attached to the bone and is tender.  What is it and will it disappear on its own?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chin bone lump with tenderness which could be because of number of reasons such as due to enlarged lymph nodes, salivary gland enlargement, benign soft tissue or benign cystic tumor, and it could be due to infection or abscess of tooth in anterior tooth region. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get a proper clinical examination done. You should go for FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology). Get CT scan done and start treatment once proper diagnosis is made. It could be treated surgically after proper evaluation. It could be lipoma as well and if it isn't teasing you much medically, then it can be treated by cosmetic surgical ways. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
