A member asked:

Small lump under skin between chin and neck, possibly swollen lymph node, possibility of lymphoma? not sure how long i've had it, no sign of infection

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Watch and wait: Please check the mass every couple of weeks. If it more than doubles in size, more lumps develop, or you start having fever, consult a doctor, otherwise you may watch and wait for it to resolve.
