Question 1

i need advice on what to do with this large lump on the back of my head?

Accepted Answer

Head lump: This really depends on what it is. Very difficult to provide advice without this information. May be from bone, hair, skin, blood vessel, etc...

Question 2

i have a pretty large size lump on my lower right back, i have tightness of my muscle on that side and pain sitting or standing. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Be examined...: To diagnose the "lump" on your back you need to be examined by a physician.  Make an appointment to see your doctor.  If the lump is red, painful, or increasing in size consider being seen at an ER or urgent care over the weekend.

Question 3

i have a lump on my back the size of half a football do limpoma s grow that big? it starts just below my shoulder blade and curves to my side

Accepted Answer

SEE SOMEONE: Lipomas can get large and are very characteristically soft feeling. That one sounds quite large and can cause you some irritation. Go get it checked out and removed before it gets larger.

Question 4

i have a big lump on my back of neck and it gives out yellow stuff when ever i scratch it what treatments should i have doctor?

Accepted Answer

See A DOCTOR: Would see a dermatologist or surgeon depending on its size and have it drained or excised.

Question 5

i'm a 11 year old and i have a big lump on my back teeth i thought it was an abcess tooth at first because my face started swelling up a little bit ??

Accepted Answer

New tooth: At 11 years old you most likely still have some baby teeth in the back. For most kids your age the next to last tooth is still a baby second molar. The 'bump" may be the new permanent tooth coming in. If the "bump" is on the cheek side this is probably the case. I see this very often. The solution is to have the baby tooth removed by your dentist for the new tooth can come in better.

Question 6

woke up with 2 big, noticeable, painful lumps on the back/left side of my neck. what are they?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: Most likely those are lymph nodes. If you have been "under the weather" recently (sore throat, fever, runny nose, earache, cough), this may be very well explained by your upper respiratory infection. Tooth problems  may be another culprit. If none of the above are present, you may seek medical advice as some lymph nodes may be a sign of something serious.

Question 7

i have a large lump on the lower left side of my back discomfort when i touch it what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: you need to be seen and evaluated by your doctor, good luck

Question 8

i have flat lumps some quite large some smaller on the very back on my tounge can only see when i stick it out very far, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Papilla: These are taste buds and are normal structures. See your physician if you have continuing concern.

Question 9

is it normal to have a large lump at top spine?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you are referring to the where the neck joins the trunk, yes. The lowest bone in the neck (c7) has a prominent spinous process, a projection where muscles attach. It is normal to be able to feel its tip. C2 is also large; it can be felt in some folks; it is just below the back of the skull.

Question 10

my boyfriends has big lumps all around his stomach and back. they are painful when pushed. what are they?

Accepted Answer

Infection: This is the most likely reason. He needs to see a doctor or go to an urgent care center.
