you should see a Dr.  if you go to a county hospital they have to see you and they will set up a payment plan for you it is not as expensive as you think

If there's no immediate obvious explanation (like you just bumped it) - get a medical evaluation.  This could be an early sign of something serious.

It could be a fatty cyst, a blocked pore, an ingrown hair, a lymph note or a gland.  You need to have it examined by a medical practitioner, rather than have yahoo speculate it for you:)

it is a benign disorder, does not lead to cancer, just ensure that you feel it once a month and if it seems to be changing size or consistency then you talk to your doctor asap, good luck

Yes, you absolutely have to go to the doctor. They happen all the time. And they are easy for a doctor to remove. It is probably a localized lymph node infection or a dermoid cyst. or maybe it is even a ganglion cyst. But you need to have it removed. \n\nInternet diagnosis isn't reliable. You need to talk to a doctor.

Sounds like a Baker's cyst. These are common and usually not too serious.\nYou should still go see a doctor anyways.

It sounds like a ganglion cyst.  Check out this site and see if this is what it looks like.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst

Have you had it examined by a doctor? Is this something you've had for a long time or did you just notice it? If it's something recent, have it checked right away it could be signs of something more serious. \n\nI would say this about any medical problem.

you have a lump the size of a lemon and you're asking here what to do?\n\nGet to a Dr whom you trust.  Second opinions are not for nothing!\n\nIf your parents are not terribly concerned, but you are, see your school nurse and let her help you decide what to do.\n\nBest wishes.

It sounds like you might have a low platelet level. Please tell your doctor about these spots ASAP.

can you get hold of it and move it around freely between your fingers (it isnt attatched to the bone or anything else) then it is a cyst,or if it is where your adams apple is it could be a growth on your thyroid gland.get it checked.

At your age a cancerous cyst i.e. breast cancer is extremely rare. I had a lump at your age and it was a benign cyst which is hormonal. Go to your doctor and don't be scared. 99% lumps are just cysts. I get alot of them just like my mum does. I am so pleased I went to my doctor because I get alot of them, but get every one checked... just to be sure.

a lump - call you doctor if you even THINK you might have a chance of having it - early detection is the only way to survive it!!!!

I DON'T WANNA SCARE YOU AND TELL YOU THAT IT MIGHT BE CANCER BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE HEAR THE WORD LUMP THAT'S WHAT WE ALL START TO THINK. IT COULD BE A ULCER, OR IT COULD BE ANYTHING NONE OF US HAVE GIVING YOU X-RAY'S SO THERE FORE WE WOULD NOT KNOW TRY AND GET SOME X-RAYS BECAUSE THIS CAN SEE YOUR ORGANS AND INSIDE OF YOUR BONES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS AND YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL BETTER AND MY BEST WISHES ARE WITH YOU.

Go to the Dr.!   \n\nI have lipomas, they sound bad but are really just fatty lumps under the skin.  My brother in law had some removed. Cysts are common too, and usually are not malignant but you need to get it checked out. My husband has had one removed, he was fine.\n\nYou need to get these checked out to make sure they aren't cancer, especially if it's in the breast area.  This will help you stop worrying and to realize what's going on.
