I have a hard lump under my left jaw bone, below my molars. It feels like a cheery pit, and I can not move it. It does not hurt unless I mess with it. The dentist could not find anything on the x-rays. I see a ENT next week but I am worried. Could it be Cancer?
Hi, Dear,thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in depth.IN My opinion -this lump is not a Cancer-as its tender to pressure handling.It's mostly an infective lump-AS the dental X-rays are normal, its not-Chronic Apical Abscess. Diagnosis-Hence mostly-its-left-Submandibular sileadenitis/ or could be Fur uncle/folliculitis early stage of cellulitis? General / or ENT-Surgeon consultation would be the right step in your case. Hope this would resolve your query. I would love to help you for more queries. Good day.
