Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. You did not mention about your gender.

Developing such lumps in case of a male person in this age group happens not infrequently, and is due to hormonal changes in this age. These usually subside by themselves excepting in a few in which case you might have to consult a plastic surgeon if disturbing both physically and mentally.

In case of females also, this might be due to some hormonal changes, and this would need a clinical assessement . If clinical assessement was inconclusive, then one could go for FNAC (fine needle asapiration cytology) to have a cytological diagnosis and then proceed furhter. I would advise you to be calm and not to get nervous, as your apprehension might not be ture most of the times in this age group. However, you must consult/visit your doctor for regular follow up as per his advice.

Till then, you could go for an anti inflammatoyr drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
