What Could Cause A Lump On The Side Of The Chin?

I have had a fixed lump under the right side of my chin for about six months now. My left side of my chin and neck are numb as is part of the bottom lip on the left. The lump is tender and varies in size depending on my amount of rest from talking, eating, etc.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have sub mandibular lymphnode enlargement due to infection or you may have sub mandibular salivary gland enlargement due to siledenitis or some other cause. you should take a course of antibiotics. If it does not respond to treatment then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
