Question 1

Accepted Answer

Not sure...: ...what it is, but I AM sure it's NOT at the top of your spinal cord. If you could feel that, you'd have some serious problems. Unfortunately, it's impossible to understand what you're trying to describe.

Question 2

i have a small pea sized lump above my collar bone on the right hand side of my neck. it moves a little under the skin and i've had it 5 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Watchful waiting: It may be a lymph node. Check it about once a week and if it gets larger, becomes painful or doe not move, it would be prudent to see your doctor.

Doc exam needed.: You need an examination by your primary care provider. Among other possibilities this could be in the area of a pilonidal cyst.

Question 6

i have many multiple small bumps i can feel under the skin on the bone of my left leg, some firm, some slightly firm. what kind of dr should i see?

Accepted Answer

Start with a general: doctor.  If exam shows that these are in the skin or subcutaneous tissue, dermatologist or plastic surgeon is the proper specialist.  If exam shows that these are in the bone, orthopedic surgeon.  And if these are rhematoid nodules, a rheumatologist.

Question 7

i have a bump under the skin by the outer corner of my eye it's not on my eye or eyelid or anything it's on the bone. it doesn't hurt and is o my noti?

Accepted Answer

Likely benign: Hi BRobinson,
Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. It is a little hard to say what you have without being able to see it visually myself. A very common finding for painless "bumps" around the eye are called "stys". They are harmless and will go away on their own. I am not sure if this is what you have but here is some general information for you about stys http://mayocl.in/2pa2gFQ Hope this helps

Question 8

i have a lump on my shin bone area under the skin. it hurts if i push it but not otherwise. why? should i go to the doctor?

Accepted Answer

Shin pain: You could have bruised that area and forgot about it only to discover it when you touch it.  A small fracture may be the cause also.  An X-ray probably is warranted as a screen.

Question 9

i am 23 years old and i noticed a small movable lump under the skin right next to my right hip bone. it doesn't hurt but should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: If you have a soft tissue lesion anywhere that you have noticed, it bears observation. Lesions that are increasing in size, especially rapidly, or those associated with increasing pain, are concerns for malignancy. A painless mass which is constant in size, unchanging in appearance, and unchanged over time is likely benign. Lipomas are the most common soft tissue benign lesions; common and benign.

Question 10

i have recently noticed a lump by my upper left pubic bone...under the skin. it is accompanied by pain and extreme cramping especially menstrating?

Accepted Answer

Go to a Doctor: Lumps need to be looked at. An Ob Gyn or doctor that can do pelvic exams needs to see what it is.
