I have had this hard lower left collarbone lump for at least a year and it's already getting bigger slowly. I've also felt it being lumpy like tiny pimples on it. There is no pain and I don't know what to do about it. What should I do?

Members rallied around someone asking what to do about a growing, painless lump near their lower left collarbone, with the consistent message being to see a doctor as soon as possible rather than guessing or waiting. Several members encouraged scheduling a ride to the hospital the next day, visiting a primary care doctor or dermatologist, and not trying to self-diagnose. One member offered reassurance by sharing that similar lumps can turn out to be harmless lipomas, which are fatty tissue buildups that can be removed.

sounds like a combination of Hanta Ebola Monkey Pox Hunchbackitis.

Christopher, it's better not to try to guess what it is. Please go see your doctor to inspect what's going on. It's better to know exactly what it is so it can be taken care of. I'm wishing you the best.

I'd go to the dr. My ex just got diagnosed with skin cancer.

Go to the nearest hospital and get tested and then checked out by a specialist or doctor also

I'm still undetectable and my CD 4 Count went up, so it can't be anything serious.
