I am just looking for some advice as my health anxiety is driving me insane since I found some lumps on my neck.
on New Year’s Eve I felt a lump at the top of my neck just below my scalp, I had been having some scalp issues for a good few months so thought maybe it was related. A week later I felt a second smaller pea sized lump on the same side but further down the neck. I would say both mobile and not painful, unless I pushed down on them I could feel some aching.
I went to the doctors got put on a cause of antibiotics lump the larger lump did decrease but then a week later came back bigger the size of a grape and tender. Went back to the doctors who felt it advised it was a reactive lymph node and that they would refer me to have an ultrasound due to having it nearly 5 weeks by this point. Was told I was not able to be fast tracked as I would have had to had the lump 6 weeks to do so.
This point still have some scalp inflammation and started a medicated shampoo. The larger lump has gone down a lot, it seems to flare up in my sleep but fine through the day. The second lump is still in my neck lower down and I would say the size of a bean. Still waiting to hear on when my ultrasound will be, but the fact the lump is still there I am worrying so much.
Do any of this sound sinister? I know I can’t get the answer I need until my scan but just wonder if anyone has had anything similar.
thanks in advance.
