Recurring Swelling On Neck Above Collar Bone. History Of Lump On Wrist, Allergy And Sinus Problem. Connected?
I have found a generalized swelling on the right side of my neck just above the collar bone. It is not painful but a few weeks ago I had a different swelling in the same area but that time it was harder and smaller but also painless. It eventually went away with massage. A few days ago another hard lumpy swelling appeared on the back of my wrist. Could they be connected? I suffer from allergies and sinus problems too.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The recurrent swelling on the collar bone that you have mentioned is likely to be a swollen lymph node. An infection in the local draining area causes such swellings and proper antibiotics will help you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
