    Yes . . . It's a lump. Surely you don't expect anyone to make a more definitive statement than THAT based on your information. All lumps MUST be evaluated with a hands-on examination by a knowledgeable doctor.

    I know I need to see a Dr. ...I have an appt. just trying to see what it might be ...but I do not see anything close to it. just wondering if anyone else had anything possibly in that area.

    I was simply pointing out to you that even if you received a thousand replies giving you . . say 100 different diagnoses reflecting what THEIR lump was . . . how would that possibly help you?

    Thems what don't want to hear the truth should refrain from asking questions.
