Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Collar Bone

I found a small, marble-sized lump in the triangular type area directly above the collar bone and below the shoulder bone an inch away from my neck. It hurts when I touch the area and move my neck around. It's moveable but seems attached. Are there lymph nodes in this area that could be swollen?

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
You haven't mentioned whether the lump is on right or left side, fever, any other complaints..
This can be due to some infection in oral cavity, tuberculosis, lymphatic metastasis from scalp, face, lip, oral cavity, thyroid etc.
If on Left side, it can be due to some intra-abdominal malignancy (stomach).
Many more causes are there, local examination by your doctor is necessary to be done as early as possible to know the diagnosis.
Investigations are advised as per the findings of local examination & treatment done accordingly.
Hope this information is useful.
Thanks. Regards.
