Lymph nodes?

Posted by atirnarruc79 @atirnarruc79, Sep 2 3:09am

I've developed large pimples over my colour bone. Are these dangerous?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head & Neck Cancer Support Group.

Hi @atirnarruc79 Welcome to the Head and Neck Cancer group. Since we are all patients here helping other patients, and certainly without the ability to physically examine patients, the recommendation as a patient would be to make an appointment with your primary care doctor or stop at an Immediate Care facility to have your issue looked at. One would assume you are considerably bothered by what you have found, which brought you here in the first place. If you are thinking "Cancer", likely it is not cancer. that's only for us unlucky few. Yet it could be a skin condition or some underlying factor going on. Patient advice to patient, since you are concerned then please get yourself checked out. If then you find yourself going down the cancer rabbit hole, we are here to send a rescue rope. Courage.

Thank you for your advice William. I am in the process of arranging an appointment with my GP. I do have lymphedema in my legs (at least I think that's what it is) thats why I'm concerned about the raised pimples above my collarbone. However, when I get a diagnoses it should clarify my situation.
Thanks again.
