Suggest Treatment For Lump On Jaw Bone
My 15 year old son has a lump that moves on his jaw bone right at the joint. He was wrestling with a friend this past weekend and his jaw was tweaked? Wondering if I should be concerned? Not sure if it was there prior to that or if it was a result of that.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your son, looking to the given history here I would like to advise you that if you are not sure about the injury then it is better to get done the x-ray test, this would clear the nature of lesion no only this could help in differentiate the diagnosis, if the swelling is not hurting then just leave it like that only and watch for this, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
