Question 1

so , the bump on my jaw line is bigger and is making my face look fat is their any home remedies i can do to make the sweeping go down?

Accepted Answer

Exam: Never ignore any facial swelling: go directly to your physician or clinic for examination, diagnosis and treatment.

Question 2

i have a hard bump on my jaw line that's been their for about a month or so now and gets bigger and then goes away and then grows back ?

Accepted Answer

Probably a B9 cyst: The fact that it gets bigger and then goes away is puzzling.  Malignant tumors don't go away by themselves, nor do benign tumors such as lipomas.A qualified health care provider should try to aspirate it (put a needle in and withdraw liquid). If successful, it will be of diagnostic, and probably therapeutic value.

Question 3

i have bumps on my jaw line after my shower tonight they itch any idea what they might be ?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis:  it sounds like you may have a contact dermatitis. If it persists or worsens please see your healthcare provider. You can try some hydrocortisone over the counter if you wish

Question 4

i have a a bump on my jaw line. its not noticeable cause its under the skin. it doesn't hurt to much, but its growing. have any idea what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node?: Under the jaw there are lymph nodes (that process lymphatic fluid and are immune protective).  That is a possibility versus others like a skin infection, but that would have other outside symptoms.  If it is getting bigger, it warrants evaluation by your doctor.

Question 5

tmj flare up a week ago and now a tender bump on lower left jaw line. its under my first molar, not on gums but on my actual jaw line. tender touching?

Accepted Answer

Muscle or lymph node: This could be some muscle tension related to the TMJ problem in the Masseter muscle. Alternatively it may be a lymph node responding to some infection in the head region. If it persists more than a week or so have you dentist take a look. For information on TMJ check my webpage here... http://www.laserdentistbaltimore.com/tmj-therapy/

Question 6

i have a small pea size bump type thing on my jaw line in the back. what could it be.

Accepted Answer

Cyst vs. lymph node: Probably the two most likely possibilities are 1. A sebaceous cyst, which could be left alone or removed, and 2. A small lymph node. Small lymph nodes near the angle of the jaw are rarely if ever concerning. If it gets larger, get checked out.

Question 7

hard bump inside my mouth on jaw line?

Accepted Answer

Lump in mouth: This needs to be evaluated.  It can be evaluated by your primary physician.  Your dentist or an oral surgeon.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Rashes are very different and require a in person evaluation to accurately diagnose and treat.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Bump: Your small bump sounds like a lymph gland. No need for alarm
