Found lump in neck.

Hi!

Just by chance, I've just found a small lump on the front of my neck, near the base of my neck. It's hard, about the size of a pea and sore when I press it. Bit worried coz two of my aunts had thyroid problems and I'm freaking myself out googling thyroid cancer. I'm not usually one to worry about my health but I've been a bit anxious in general lately.

TIA ️

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your aunts having thyroid problems and more recently you noticing this lump on your neck.

    There could be number of reasons for this lump, so try not to overly worry but it is probably worth getting it looked at by your doctor, for your own peace of mind.

    The doctor can examine you and if needed they can arrange further tests for you.

    Hopefully this is nothing and there may well be a very simple explanation for this lump.

    Best wishes
