Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Jaw
I have a pea sized hard ball under my skin, just above the right side of my jawline. The ball is movable and cannot be seen unless pushed towards the surface of my face. I ve had this for just over a year now. But I just wanted to ensure that it wasn t anything unusual or unhealthy? Thank you.

Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having enlarged sub mandibular lymph node giving this problem.
This shows that there might be having some minor chronic infection in oral cavity like carious teeth, decayed teeth etc.
Nothing to worry,
Keep oral hygiene clean and healthy.
Ok and take care.
