Hi,
It's been almost 5 months since my last HA episode and I've been doing fine until 2 hours ago.
For some stupid reason, I was feeling my neck and I discovered this lump on the right/back part of my neck.
The lump feels semi-soft but firm. I do think it is movable. I had my father checked it out and he said that he thinks he can move it and it was a bit soft as well.
It is non-painful though. It is the size of a marble or a small almond. Definitely a bit larger than an average pea.
My rational side is saying that it could be just a lymph node, but my bad side is telling me it could be the big C.
I haven't had any recent infection that I know of, but I've been feeling really stressed out at work and in graduate school. I'm 22 y.o. by the way.
Also, I don't know if this is plausible, but I've been having bad acne breakouts on the face. And the pimples at my rear hairline and back neck have been irritating my skin and scalp.
I don't know what to think. I should be focusing on a major presentation of mine this Friday, but I feel that I am being overpowered by this worrying. :(
