Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.
if the lump is movable,then absolutely there is nothing to worry. it may be a soft tissue swelling like lipoma, sebaceous cyst, fibrous tissue lump or an enlarged lymph node.
ONLY THE LUMPS THAT ARE IMMOVABLE AND FIXED TO THE BONES ARE OF CONCERN.
consult the gp, get xray/mri or any other ivestigation that he advises and let me know the report so that i can guide you further.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries.
Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
