How To Get Rid Of Lump On My Neck?

Hi I am a 47 year old female. Non smoker & healthy. I have a small hard lump on my neck - approx 1 inch below my left ear and half an inch back. The lump is fixed and not moveable. It doesn't hurt, but the surrounding area feels tender. I found this lump approx 5 weeks ago. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a clinical assesment of the area includng the Thyroid gland, I would instead of waiting more would go for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lump to have a cytological diagnosis. Further management would depend on the report of the FNAC.

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.
