Hi, Hannahw1983!

Have you been to a doctor to have it examined, please?

Thanks!

No one here can diagnose your problem.
We would be foolish to even attempt to do so.
It could be any number of things,I'm guessing an ingrown hair,I could be wrong because I can not see it and therefore can not make a diagnosis.
Just a guess, you need a doctor.

Hi

Have been to doc and they seem to think its just a swollen lymph node. They dont seem that concerned but still doesnt stop me worrying. They have also carried out blood tests which all came back clear!!!

Hi again, Hannahw1983!

So, has the size of it diminished any since your last post on this thread, please?

Thanks!

I had lumps too, only turned out to be cysts.

You are going to have to go to your doctor for a proper diagnosis though.
