Hello! I am a 26year old female and I weigh about 270lbs. For the last 2 years I have had a white peasized bump on my collar bone. A week ago that pea sized bump turned into a quarter sized red bump which hurts to the slightest touch. The red bump is soft but at the edges it s hard. I know it was dumb of me to put off going to the doctor......but I am really scared. Please help me.
Hi, thanks for your query to my Chat Doctor clinic. I understand the concerns you have. In my opinion the bump on the collar bone is due to the Acute on Chronic-Cold abscess in supraclavicular lymph glands / and or acute abscess in lymph nodes of infectious mononucleosis /or it could be chronic infected Sebaceous Cyst/or it could be Hopkins or NH-Lymphoma. Excision with Biopsy of the lump would fix the cause of such a lump in your case. In my opinion-you have mostly-TB-Cold abscess or infectious mono, or it could be HL / NHL with abscess. So consult a Surgeon who would treat after Excision biopsy to rule out the various possibilities of such a lump. Hope you would be relieved of your query. With this reply. I would love to help and Welcome to Chat Doctor for more queries.
