It NEEDS to be checked out. It is probably a swollen lymph node. Question is: what made it swell? It could be nothing, but you need to know for sure. If it's something bad, there are a LOT of good, effective treatments out there, but it must be caught as early as possible. Here's a site where you can find info, and see if you have any other symptoms:\nhttp://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls...\nI started with only one lymph node swollen [at the base of my neck on the left side] Bottom line, only a doctor will be able to give you the info you need.\nBest Wishes

costo chondritis does not cause a lump, it may be an inflammed swelling, see the surgeon again if it does not resolve, good luck

If it is just a little bit scaly or the skin is thin in this area it could very well be skin cancer.......but the good news is it may at this point only have penetrated the skin......I had it and it was treated....a small spot on my back.....as soon as I felt it and it didn't go away for a week or so I went to the doctor.  (mine was a brown color too by the way)......\nOn something like this you need to act quickly and go to the doctor immediately.......you don't want it to go into your system...the longer you wait the more chances you are taking.\nBetter to be safe than sorry.............look up in google and as for pictures of skin conditions or skin cancer for pictures.  should be there.

If you find a lump on your testicle, see a doctor, preferably a urologist, right away. The abnormality may not be cancer, it may just be an infection. But if it is testicular cancer, it will spread if it is not stopped by treatment. Waiting and hoping will not fix anything. Please note that free floating lumps in the scrotum that are not attached in any way to a testicle are not testicular cancer. When in doubt, get it checked out - if only for peace of mind.\n\nHow to do a self examination of the testicles:\n*Stand in front of a mirror. Check for any swelling on the scrotal skin. \n*Examine each testicle with both hands. Place the index and middle fingers under the testicle with the thumbs placed on top. Roll the testicle gently between the thumbs and fingers -- you shouldn't feel any pain when doing the exam. Don't be alarmed if one testicle seems slightly larger than the other, that's normal. \n*Find the epididymis, the soft, tubelike structure behind the testicle that collects and carries sperm. If you are familiar with this structure, you won't mistake it for a suspicious lump. Cancerous lumps usually are found on the sides of the testicle but can also show up on the front. Lumps on the epididymis are not cancerous. \n*Other signs of testicular cancer to keep in mind are: \nAny enlargement of a testicle \nA significant loss of size in one of the testicles \nA feeling of heaviness in the scrotum \nA dull ache in the lower abdomen or in the groin \nA sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum \nPain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum \nEnlargement or tenderness of the breasts \n\nI hesitate to mention the following list, since anything out of the ordinary down there should prompt a visit to the doctor, but you should be aware that the following symptoms are not normally signs of testicular cancer:\nA pimple, ingrown hair or rash on the scrotal skin \nA free floating lump in the scrotum, seemingly not attached to anything \nA lump on the epidiymis or tubes coming from the testicle that kind of feels like a third testicle \nPain or burning during urination \nBlood in the urine or semen \nhttp://tcrc.acor.org/tcexam.html...

Go to your family doctor first.  That doctor can refer you to a specialist if needed.  An x-ray at a denist won't help diagnose this lump because an x-ray will not show most soft tissue...only bone and teeth.  But, many times, when I do an ultrasound of the type of lump you are describing located near the jaw bone, it turns out to be a lymph node.  Lymph nodes can enlarge when they are fighting some type of infection.  But any change in the body needs to be checked out by a medical professional.

It could be cyst, so don't try smashing it with a book, or breaking it open or anything like that.  You should probabaly have a physician look at it.  Not to scare you, but this how some cancers are found.  So if it is growing you should seek professional advice.

If you continue feeling like this...you should seek medical attention.  Over a year ago my throat was bothering me for over a week...I didn't do anything about it and ended up losing my voice for two weeks.  I finally sought medical attention when I lost my voice and found out that I had a polyp on my vocal cord.  So definitely if it continues to be a problem...Go see a doctor!!!

I would get it checked ASAP.  Lumps should not be ignored.\nb

If the lump in your throat is brought on by emotion and not caused by a physical condition, then it's what doctors call 'globus hystericus' or 'globus sensation'.\n\nQ. You what?\nA. It's an exaggerated awareness of the throat muscles going into spasm. For most of us, it happens during the sad bits of a film, or at a wedding, or even a particularly sentimental episode of EastEnders. For others, it can be a more serious stress-related condition.\n\nQ. What happens?\nA. The globus sensation is the feeling of having some kind of lump in the throat when there isn't a physical reason for it. Sufferers gasp for breath and feel as if they can't breathe. Some think their Adam's apple has swollen up or moved.\n\nThis lump in the throat is often accompanied by sweating, a pounding heart, clammy hands and a dry mouth. There are feelings of panic, fear and anxiety.\n\nQ. Is it life-threatening?\nA. No. Even though some people actually have difficulty swallowing, or feel that food is sticking in their gullet, there is no physical reason for it. Your throat won't actually close if there's no physical problem.\n\nQ. What causes it?\nA. It's usually linked with depression, or it can be a symptom of a panic attack. Rreassurance and calmer breathing will help the feeling disappear. As a rule, it isn't a problem once the underlying reason for the depression or panic attack has been dealt with. Sometimes, just the realisation that the feeling of fullness in the throat is caused by anxiety is enough to make it stop.

It sounds like an inflamed lymph node, nothing serious. Lymph nodes are the body's way of saying you have an infection somewhere near that area. Yes, go to the doctor.

It might be a blocked mucous duct. It is probably nothing but if it doesn't go away see someone about it, because it could be something more serious.
