Lumps under my skin!?!


Question: Lumps under my skin!!?
I have a lump under my skin on top of my shoulder about halfway between my neck to my arm!. I had it checked about 2 or 3 years ago and the doc said it was just a cyst!. Since then it has grown a bit!.

Last week I found another one that is on my ribs just below my left breast!. The new one feels the same as the first one did when I first found it!.

The are both hard and feel like deep pimples really!. The old one is deffinately bigger (Now about the diametre of my index finger) and may have changed shape!. Should I bother the doc!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It *might* be a lot of things!.

Since there is another one, I'd have it checked!. Maybe the first is a cyst !.!.!. that doesn't mean this one is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It might just be a sebaceous cyst!. That's nothing!. It can get bigger!. Its possible to have more than one!. Look up sebaceous cyst on webmd!.com in the search engine!. Or on Mayo Clinic's website!. Naturally you have to have the doctor tell you exactly what TYPE of cyst there is!. There are several different kinds!.

I had one, it got infected (turned red and was v sensitive), took antibiotics, had to have it lanced -because of the infection; and then I just had surgery last week to have it cut out!. I heard you could have local anethesia, but my doc gave me full anethesia bec it was so close to my underarm!. I'm glad he did bec I don't need to be awake for that!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

my friend had that!. she has hodgkins lymphona, a form of cancer!.
it was mis diagnosed at first- you should keep going back to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
