Hi,

Thanks for posting on our forum.

I'm afraid I won't be able to say what the lump under your chin might be, but it is most likely that is it not anything serious. Cancer in your age group is very rare but we normally suggest that if anyone finds a lump or something that is new for them they go and get it checked out by their GP. The doctor will be able to complete a full examination and do any referrals if they are deemed necessary.

It might also be a good idea to tell your mum or dad or another trusted adult about your concerns. Do try to make an appointment to see your doctor soon.

I hope this has been helpful.

Best wishes,

Abi

Hello

Hi Melly,

i am just coming across your post while I am searching for possible answers for my 17yr old son. He just came to me with a hard lump under his chin. 

He is concerned so I will take him to the doctor but I am curious to know if you found a cause for your lump? 

Thank you so much

Hello and thanks for posting,

As this thread was from a few months ago we thought we would drop you a line, in case you don't hear back from anyone else.

I am sorry to hear your son has a lump under his chin. Lumps and bumps can appear for lots of different reasons and most won't be anything serious. However it is always best to get these things checked out by a doctor to be on the safe side, so I am pleased to hear you are going to take him to see a doctor.

I hope all goes well. The doctor will be able to examine the lump and arrange more tests if necessary.

Please get back if you have any more questions or if you would like to speak to a nurse the number is 0808 800 4040, we are here Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm.

Take care,

Naomi
