Question 1

i have a lump under my chin near my neck what is it?

Accepted Answer

Many possible causes: There are many possible causes for a lump under your chin, so i would recommend a thorough evaluation by your physician. Possible causes include swollen lymph nodes, benign skin cysts, salivary gland swelling, congenital cysts, or rare tumors. Factors such as location, size, and duration make some of these more or less likely.

Question 2

i have a lump under my chin that i noticed today . it wasnt there before today . what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Chin lump: Without more information, I would go through typical possibilities which would include the possibility of  trauma, infection in the skin, enlarged lymph nodes,  and cysts. If it persists, see a doctor.

Question 3

i have a lump under my chin on the right side, it's smooth feeling under my skin and is moveable. i don't feel any pain at all.

Accepted Answer

Need to be checked: If iti si movable and no symptoms it is probably a cyst or the lymph nodes. Please have them checked by ENT

Question 4

i have a lump under my chin and its starting to burn and i have a rash starting to appear?

Accepted Answer

Lump: The lump could be an enlarged submental lymph node reacting to what could be a herpes virus or a bacterial skin infection. Since treatment is available for a herpes infection I recommend that you consult your physician or dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime apply antibacterial ointment like bacitracin.

Question 5

i have a lump under my chin in the fatty part of my neck.  started out pea size and now marble size. wasn't sore but now is.   thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Submental lymph node: This is usually a lymph node under your chin, and it usually swells when there is an infection on your chin, or possibly anywhere on your face.  I see it most commonly in teens and young adults with acne on their chin, but rosacea on your nose or cheeks could do it.  If you don't have an obvious infection, have it checked out by your doctor or an ent.  Sometimes an infected cyst causes this.

Question 6

i have a lump under my chin, it is soft flexible . it is painful when i press it. my doctor told me that it is a swollen lymph node.

Accepted Answer

Likely true: That is likely true. It looks like a history of mumps. I'm not sure what the question is.

Question 7

i have a lump under my chin near my throat it hurts when i touch it and its grown bigger in three days should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Concerned: Swelling under your chin is not normal. And left untreated can put pressure on our tongue and throat, which can cause breathing complications. Please seek medical evaluation at once.

Question 8

i have a lump under my chin. the doc said it had something to do with my salivary glands and an infection of some kind. i'm on antibiotics, bu i was wondering what kind of infection can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Staph / strep: Mouth is full of bacteria, but staph and strep are the most common causes of an infection like this. Sometimes there is a stone in the duct or an underlying condition such as malnutrition that can contribute.

Question 9

i  have a little lump under my chin, have no pain and till i pressure it, what can this  be?!

Accepted Answer

Tough to say: Without an exam, it is tough to say, ..Could be a pimple, a cyst, an early abscess, an infected hair follicle, etc. Etc.  See a health care provider and when it gets looked at and officially evaluated, you will get the real answer.  Best wishes.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Enlarged lymph node: See your PCP or dentist. Direct clinical examination is warranted and essential to exclude any other causes.
