Hey Doctor For The Last 7 Weeks I’ve Had This

default
Posted on Sun, 28 Apr 2019
Question: Hey doctor for the last 7 weeks I’ve had this lump on the left back side of my neck. It’s pretty much stayed the same size but it feels kind of hard when I feel it, I think it’s in the same spot as one of my lymph nodes. I had it checked by a doctor a couple weeks after I first noticed it and they said it was just a swollen lymph node and sometimes they become enlarged. I am just a little worried as it’s still there what do you think it could be? I have attached an image of it but you can’t really see it as it’s more so under the skin but mainly to give you an idea of it’s location.

In my opinion you should not worry.Some swollen lymph nodes return to normal when the underlying condition, such as a minor infection, gets better.
Sometimes they can be enlarged but they are not dangerous.
