A member asked:

Found a small, soft moveable lump on my thyroid, is this a gland or something more serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Sneid answered

How do you: Know it's "on" your thyroid? Most neck lumps have nothing to do with your thyroid. Have the lump evaluated by your physician if you're concerned.
