Get seen: It's a long shot but the hurts-with-alcohol will make sny first year med student think of Hodgkin's. Get it figured out before it gets too serious.

Patience Is A Virtue: If it's still there in 2-3 weeks,get it looked at.If it starts getting bigger get it looked at sooner.But...just get a good idea of its size and consistency and if it can be moved around or if it can't-visualize it--then leave it alone; don't bother it until you check it in a week if the same wait another week and if it's still there get it checked.If it gets worse before two weeks get it checked
