The answer

TeenHealthFX is sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose over the internet. It is very important to tell a parent or guardian and go see a doctor to get checked, especially if you believe there to be a lump. Only a medical professional can provide you with an accurate diagnosis and the care that you need.

If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist. Good luck!
