Concerned

Hi 

i have a lump on my neck and it's been there for a short while, it doesn't move when I touch it and it doesn't hurt. I've become worried because the skin around it has changed a lot. This could be a coincidence but it's like a rash, I only have it on that part of my body sometimes it fades but never disappears  other times it's itchy and sore. The colouring is different to the skin over the rest of my body too. I put it down to a swollen gland but I'm starting to worry a bit now. I've tried to see my GP but it's really hard to get in and they never have appointments. Can anybody give me an ideas or advice about any information I can access to try and figure our what's happening? 

Thanks for your help 

  • Hi 

    my mother in law recently found a lump on the side of her neck, she went for tests and feared the worse, luckily everything was ok, and it's just a gland, she is having it removed  this week. Hers sounded very much the same as yours, but please push for a GP appointment, if anything just to stop your worrying, good luck x
