A member asked:

Hi i have had a lump on my neck for the last two years is it dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Brouwer answered

Probably not: A lump that has been on your neck for over two years is likely not anything serious. It would be a good idea however to have your primary physician examine you.
