Hypothyroidism or Iron deficiency can cause that.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,i had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Sir, From picture you have sent, The very mild swelling seen and with out pain as you told. The most probable causes for such condition are Hypothyroidism which can be diagnosed by thyroid profile and the other could be due to Iron deficiency anaemia.
If I were your treating physician, I would suggest you to get Thyroid profile and Hemoglobin% blood test to be done. One of the reasons is suspected. So please get them done and write back to us.
Hope this guides you. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
