Suggest Remedy For Sore Lumps In Neck

I have a sore movable lump in my neck, and also a sore hard non-movable lump under the skin in my shin/ leg. I am having an ultra sound and a blood test tomorrow for the lump in my neck, but i have only just discovered this other lump in my leg. there is no apparent bruising at all on the skin, but the lump is sore and hard and about the size of a pea. should i be worried?

Pathologist and Microbiologist,  's  Response

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of multiple lumps, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     lymph nodes due to some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!
2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!

3.     The last possibility is of sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like branchial cyst or lymphatic cysts! Nothing to worry about these also!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lumps for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
