Lump on my neck

[Fang Wolf]

I have a lump on my neck, the stitches and hurts when touched.
Is it abscess or tumor?

Some good advice thanks.

Thanks for asking the drome for medical help.

You should get it looked at by a doctor - it could be anything.

[AT-Man]

I'm not saying it isn't aliens.

It's probably just neck cancer. It's best to just ignore it and hope it goes away on its own.

[Powder]

Asking here is not a bright idea. There's not much to go by, but my guess would be that it's a cyst.

Go.. doctor... shoo...

Far as I understand tumors often don't hurt. Guessing more like the abscess or cyst, though there's glands in the neck that can have issues for various reasons - but I'm not a doctor, go see one.

Edit: Esp don't put it off though if it's clearly increasing in size and pain, an abscess is nothing to mess with if that's what it turns out to be. Dr. needs to handle that, soon. Can say that much from experience, but not in the neck region.

Yeah...I would get that checked out as soon as possible...hope it's nothing serious

Advice you asked for? Potentially a lymph node.

Advice you should have asked for? Doctor or urgent care clinic, now, you, go. We're geeks, not doctors.

[Nameless]

you'd be better off going to Dr. Nick from the simpsons they follow any medical advice give here. unless the advice is "go to the doctor"

unless the advice is "go to the doctor"
This.

I'd put my money on staph. Get it checked out posthaste.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

See your doctor ASAP, don't assume it is nothing to worry about and hope it goes away. Get it checked out.

[Mew]

Go to the doctor. It could be serious.
I hope your fine.

Keep us posted please Fang

Serious question?
If so just go to the doctor. You can't be too careful with your health.

[Fang Wolf]

Ah, I've now been to doctor and removed it.
It was just a vernal abscess.
But I feel good now!
