What does a lump under chin in 12 year old mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumps....: It is most likely a lymph node. Is it tender? How long has it been there? Enlarged lymph node in children are not uncommon in the neck, the arm pits, the groin and also under the chin. If the lump is in some other area it is more worrisome but regardless i recommend you see a pediatrician to help you with decide next steps. Any lump needs to be taken seriously!
