Hello,
I am new to this site but unfortunately not to health anxiety. I have had some issues before but they seem to come and go. I have been great for a while until recently.
I found what I thought to be a swollen gland or cyst on my upper neck. I first went to my dermatologist who thought it wasn't much but said to watch it and if it remained after 3 or 4 weeks we could have a surgeon biopsy it. I also visited my general doctor who couldn't even find it. It seems to come and go for no particular reason at all. I went back to my dermatologist the other day, this was 4 weeks after the initial appointment. He says that it has gotten much smaller and wouldn't do anything about it. He said he could just about guarantee it is nothing. 99% he said. For some reason I am still worrying and I constantly am poking at it. It is very small and like I said it comes and goes. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions.
Thanks!
