What Is The Sensitive And Painful Lump On My Chin?

Yesterday I put rested my chin on my hand and it hurt. I felt a hard bump there. It does not move, I have never noticed it before. It starts right on my chin bone in and goes back toward throat about ½” wide until the soft part of my chin and then ends. It is sensitive to touch, but otherwise painless.

Welcome to health care magic.

1.The history suggest the possible reason could be - sailo-adenitis when dilated ducts in the salivary glands, next possible cause will be submandibular lesion, finally lymph nodal enlargement.
2.For confirmation ultrasound will help.
3.Ultrasound tells us about the nature of the lump, its source and where all its extending.
4.If its a mass - a needle sample might be taken for histology to know what type of cells they are.
5.The treatment depend on the results of the scan and lab report. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
