Lump under the skin - Paranoid?
 Login/Join 
Posted
Hi,

Just a few days ago I have noticed a lump under the skin on my throat. Just above the "adamsappel"? (The thing that moves up and down when you swallow) It has been there since about 5 days, is not painful. It's hard and I can move it up and down although it seems to be stuck on the throat.

I am 27, have smoked on and off for about 8 yrs (have stopped now since 2 months) and like to drink beer. I am in good health.

I have also had the Human Papilloma Virus last year.

My friend says I am just being paranoid but I just want to be sure.

Thanks

Hello Bintang

I am sorry your post was missed! I hope the 'lump' was nothing serious and things have turned out well for you.

Best wishes
