Hi,
The most common lumps or swellings are enlarged lymph nodes. These can be caused by bacterial or viral infections or other causes. See a GP if: your lump gets bigger, your lump is painful, red or hot, your lump is hard and doesn't move.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sam Salahia, Dermatologist
