    Lumps On Neck
    I am a 15 year old girl and I have a lump under my skin on the middle right side of my neck, you can only see it when I tilt my head to the left and only hurts when I touch it. I also have two hard pea sized lumps under my skin also on the right side underneath the other lump. The first lump is squishy and moves around, the two pea sized lumps underneath the first lump are hard and don't move, and hurt to touch them also what could this be?

    My son as a kid and teenager would get a small lump in his lymph-nodes if he was sick but the pediatrician knew this and said it would be no problem, and it hasn't been. On the other hand if your thyroid gland is swollen you need medicine for it. So have yourself checked by a family doctor or pediatrician.


    Have doctor schedule you for an ultrasound to be done on your neck including the thyroid glands and all the lymph nodes on both sides of your neck, even though it is the left side that is giving you the problem now... This way you will have ultrasound images for BOTH sides in case something happens in the future with the right...

    It is the right side that is bothering me, and I have Hypothyroid, and I take synthroid for it. I also have a goiter that is in the front of my neck.

    Never mind I found out that I possibly have Mono, so thanks for the answers :)
