Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, For a long time I ve had a lump on my neck probably since I was around 14 or 15 and i m not sure what to do. It s not painful, and if I flex my back I can t even tell it s there but I obviously don t want to walk around the beach or anything else the rest of my life flexing my back. I don t know what to do. Please help!
In most cases this is just a swollen lymph node which doesnt require any specific treatment.
Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma.
And if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then it there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
