Suggest Treatment For Pain Under The Chin
Question: I have a pain under my chin. It just generaly hurts all around the area but I can cause it to hurt if i touch it directly in the center, under the chin. About 1 inch from the end. It's about a 1/2 diameter area. Nowhere else around there hurts if I touch it. It came on suddenly 2 days ago. I ca't think of any point where I bumped it. There is no buise or blemish on the skin. There is no noticable swelling, but then, I had a beard untill today when I shaved it to look for an ingrown hair or bruise. So not sure I'd notice a minor swelling. And I do not habe a feavor or other symptoms of being sick.
It apeared out if nowhere and has not gotten better (or worce) for two days. It's strange and want to know what it could be and if I should go see my doctor.
