What Causes A Hard Lump Under The Chin?
I have this hard lump under the skin on my chin it s colorless and painless. and can t really see it until I m in the sun. There is no head or hole for a pimple. And It turns white and visible when I push my tongue against my lip on the inside , giving me complete visibility of the lump. What is it? How do I get rid of it? I have had another of these about a month ago and it s gotten smaller but that one is still there also.

Hi! though this a kind of uncommon presentation of a small nodular lesion, it is confirmed, from your description, that there is nothing to worry about this as this is benign and possibly a developmental cystic nodule like:
1. lymphangioma
2. hemangioma
3. mucus retention cyst
4. histiocytic benign tumor
I think you have to see a general surgeon or physician for a clinical examination that will resolve rest of the concern...!
