A member asked:

I have a lump on my neck along the jawline towards the back of my chin. when i eat something it tends to enlarge. should i b concerned or is it nothin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prob okay, get check: Sounds like the salivary gland. Might want to get it checked out but if you have no other symptoms, could be nothing to worry about. Things like smoking/chewing tobacco would warrant ruling out a mass.
