Question 1

i believe i have a umbilical hernia. i dont have any pain, but i do feel a lump. is it safe? will it go away. do i have to get operated? what type of doctor do i have to see about it

Accepted Answer

Can't say: The description is too vague to answer the questions posed. This may/not be a hernia or just a growth of fatty tissue. Proper care if needed would require an exam. Your GP can decide whether or who you need to see about it.

Question 2

i have a small lump on my back right side of my neck, what doctor should i see to have it removed. no health insurance, can't afford a lot of appointm?

Accepted Answer

Try a family doc: how long have you had it? if you have had it a long time and it doesn‘t bother you, it might be a lipoma and that can be left alone. I recommend seeing a low cost primary care/family medicine doctor out of pocket to get an opinion before you look for a surgeon. if it is small, sometimes a family doc can remove it, too.

Question 3

what type of doctor should i see for a lump on my collar bone?

Accepted Answer

Primary: Start with your primary care doc for an exam and tests if needed, a specialist will then be consulted based on intent, possibly a surgeon if excision contemplated.

Question 4

little swollen under tongue. small lump on each side it seems. very tiny but painful. should i wait until monday or sooner to see doc. ?

Accepted Answer

Likely salivary duct: These are likely your salivary ducts under the tongue on each side of the strand of muscle that you see when you raise your tongue. If you have rough/sharp edges on your lower front teeth and have been sticking your tongue out over them, then this is probably the cause. Warm salt water soaks/rinses make help soothe the area. Monday is probably fine, but sooner if it gets worse. Good Luck.

Question 5

Question 8

small hard lump under left nipple, about an inch in diameter and is oddly shaped. what type of doc should i see and what type of test should i get?

Accepted Answer

PCP or gynecologist: Breast cysts are common. If it does not go away over 3-4 weeks, a breast lump should be evaluated. Cysts can be aspirated and fluid removed with a needle if necessary. A primary care physician or a gynecologist would be most appropriate.

Question 9

what type of doctor would i see if i have a lump on my collar bone close to my neck at the end of the bone? thanks

Accepted Answer

Start wit your doc: These may just be the site of an old break or bruise on the bone, requiring no treatment. Your regular doc should be able to confirm or exclude that label and would know who in your region would be best to consult for other possibilities.
