Suggest Treatment For Bump On Collar Bone

Hello! I am a 26year old female and I weigh about 270lbs. For the last 2 years I have had a white peasized bump on my collar bone. A week ago that pea sized bump turned into a quarter sized red bump which hurts to the slightest touch. The red bump is soft but at the edges it s hard. I know it was dumb of me to put off going to the doctor......but I am really scared. Please help me.

Hi,thanks for your query to my HCM clinic.I understand the concerns you have .In my opinion the bump on the collar bone is due to the Acute on Chronic-Cold abscess in supra-clavicular lymph glands / and or acute abscess in lymph nodes of infectious mononucleosis /or it could be chronic infected Sebaceous Cyst/or it could be Hogdekins or NH-Lymphoma.Excision with Biopsy of the lump would fix the cause of such a lump in your case.In my opinion-you have mostly-TB-Cold abscess or infectious mono or it could be HL / NHL with abscess.So consult a Surgeon who would treat after Excision biopsy to rule out the various possibilities of such a lump.Hope you would be relieved of your query. with this reply.I would love to mhelp and Wellcome to HCM for more queries.
