Suggest Remedies For A Small Movable Lump Above The Collar Bone
My GP just scared the life out of me. She has said that if the tiny moveable lump above collar bone doesn t go in two weeks I have to have a test for lymphoma. I have been off with flu and a tummy bug recently but they resolved quickly. Recent mammogram for lumps in breast all clear and FBC and thyroid checked in march and all normal.

If needed full antibiotic course given like that in suppurative lesion
If it is lipoma or any other soft tissue tumour than it should be removed
Take care
Consult surgeon for examination and further work up
