### input:
For the past 8 years (approx) I have had 6 small lumps on my neck, 3 on each side. They are nearly identically located on each side, one on it own and two together. None of them cause any pain, discomfort or are sore to touch. Now, 8 months ago I discovered a small lump near my groin, I dont how long it was there before that because I actually never checked there. It is quite small and hasnt changed size. Now, about 4 weeks ago, just above my adams apple, to the left I got a small lump and the outer skin on that area because sore to touch, that has cleared up and now, I am left with a painless lump, which seems to span withways, about a cm. Painless to touch and hard to find unless you tilt your head right back. I could jusy be getting overexcited, I dont know. As a child I suffered very bad with ear infections once or twice a year and had gromits and my adnoids done. For the past 2-3 years my lifestyle has been quite unhealty due to stress and have been consuming a lot of alcohol.

Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history and symptoms and lumps locations suggest - enlarged lymph nodes at different locations.2. The enlargement of the lymph nodes can be due to any infective / inflammatory process anywhere in the body. Also seen in presence of any malignancy. Besides in lymph nodal pathology itself.3. So I would recommend getting start with ultrasound of neck that will help to assess the lumps its nature and where it's coming from and where all its extending to. At the Sam time any pathology causing the symptoms.4. An abdomen pelvis ultrasound will help to assess internal glands status and organs evaluation.5. So suggest getting an appointment and find out the cause get needful investigations done and treated accordingly. Good luck.
