Hi Im a 15 year old female and I noticed a round, hard lump under chin while I was washing my face the other day. It doesnt hurt, which is scaring me that it might be cancer, except I have no family history of cancer. I was told that it could be a blocked salivary gland...
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have siledenitis(infection in salivary gland), or sub mandibular lymph node enlargement. Chances of cancer at age of 15 is very rare. SO don't worry much about that. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it does not respond to treatment then ultrasound study and biopsy is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
