Lumps on Neck // Itching

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit of an anxious mess at the moment. A few weeks ago I noticed a lump on the bottom right of my neck, it was maybe the size of a 20p coin if not ever so slightly bigger. I didn't feel particularly unwell at the time but left it a few weeks in case it was swollen due to an infection. I don't think it's got any bigger but it's not went down. I've went to the doctor and she's sending me for bloods and an ultrasound. I've googled it (which I know is the worst thing you can do!) and it came up with lymphoma and I read that another of the symptoms is itching skin which is a problem I've had for about 2 years now- literally head to toe itching. I've been diagnosed with eczema but I'm itchy even where I don't have visible eczema so now I'm worried I could have had something more sinister this entire time. I don't have any of the other symptoms like a fever or night sweats. I am tired but I wouldn't say extremely fatigued. I feel like now I'm constantly prodding my neck etc... today I've found a smaller lump- maybe the size of a pea if that on the other side of my neck but I don't know if that's just because of all the prodding! I don't think I have an Infection per se but I do have havfever and patches of eczema but not sure if this could cause the swollen lymph nodes. Waiting for an appointment is driving me crazy so I thought I'd post here for some reassurance or similar cases!

  • Hey!

    I am experiencing something very similar. My symptoms are severe itchy skin which I have had for about 2 years, I have 2 lumps in the back of my neck and I have recently discovered another in the left side of my neck, above my collarbone as well as a small lump in my left armpit. I am extremely tired, some days I am more tired than others. I am eating less than1 full meal a day.
     

    My GP referred me to see a haematologist. All of my bloods have come back clear. I was sent for an ultrasound on my neck and my abdomen & pelvis. I am still waiting for my results. It's been 2 weeks since I had my scan.

    I have a phone call with the haematologist today. They should be ringing me any minute now. I will keep you all updated!

    I hope you're okay x

     

  • Sounds like we're having very similar symptoms. Best of luck for your appointment with the haematologist- let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed they ring soon x
