Question 5

i've had a pea size mass on the left side of my neck over a year, also i have become very tired, achy, dry scalp, no appetite, head aches, neckpain?

Accepted Answer

Examination needed: A pea sized neck mass in the neck is probably an old lymph node as it hadn't changed in a year. I don't think that it's related to your other symptoms. I recommend that you have an examination by your physician in view of the other symptoms you describe. He/she will evaluate the neck mass and order any appropriate tests.

Question 6

feel few lumps under skin on r ribs costal cartilage next to xiphoid. surgery to remove benign breast mass 3 yr ago same side surgery caused nodes?

Accepted Answer

"lumps" in breast: Depending on how extensive and where the "benign breast mass" was in relation to the xiphoid, scar tissue from suture placement can engender small "lumps" under the skin.  If the mass was not located in the area of your breast as described, ask your gyn physician for an exam and possible digital mammogram to be more certain.

Accepted Answer

: Being touched by hand,with no lesions, doesn't transmit HIV but other STDs like herpes can be.

Question 8

i have a protruding mass under my skin resulting from a hard fall onto a metal edge, its been 2 years and the mass is still there.. it is 4x2?

Accepted Answer

Mass: This could have originally been a collection of blood (hematoma) under the skin and then hardened into a permanent fibrous mass. It doesn't sound serious but if it is symptomatic or causing concern,see your physician for evaluation.

Question 9
