Suggest Treatment For Lump On Adam S Apple
I have a small pea sized lump above adams apple on the right side. It s relatively soft and I can move it from left to right with my finger, however it is only prominant if I tilt my head back. Just noticed it yesterday and wondering if its normal or a cause for concern. I m 18 years old and a smoker

Hi, this is a small nodule that is mobile but not painful. In such cases, according to experience, we have to think of several possibilities like:
1. a colloid cyst of thyroid
2. a branchial / lymphatic cyst / sebaceous cyst
3. a lymph node
in any case there is nothing to worry but you have to confirm it first; for confirmation you have to go for USG/FNAC test.
Please do these tests first and get back to us for farther assistance.
wish you best health!
