[|Human|] hello there im 20 years old and i have noticed i have a small lump 1.5cm under my chin in the centre. I have only just noticed it and its not that painful, but it feels like a tensed muscle. I have had a small cold sore in the corner of my mouth for a few days if this could have anything to do with it. Is there a way of getting rid of this quickly as I graduate in 5 days and obviously dont want a massive horrible lump under my chin. hope you have the time to answer my question.
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The history suggest the presence lump in the chin area, no pain but discomfort -possible cause could be sailoadenitis (salivary dust dilatation) next possible cause will be submandibular gland lesion.2. Other causes could be infective causes and lastly lymph nodal enlargement.3. An ultrasound examination will help to assess the nature of the lump / lesion and its source and where all its extending.4. If required in case of mass lesions - FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology might be needed to evaluate the cells.5. After that depending on the nature of the lesion - treatment can be started.6. Do not press or scratch the lesion - complicates are possible and disturbs in healing process. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
