Q: should i be concerned about small lipoma on my collar bone? it came randomly and doc says its a lipoma. im just scared its actually a lymphnode or something?

: For peace of mind consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and advice. There is a chain of lymph nodes just above and behind the collar bone. Lipomas tend to be somewhat movable and not rock hard.
