Hi,

I would need you to upload an image of the swelling that you mention. Also describe how long it has been there. You can upload them using the facility on the upper right of this page or you can email them to YYYY@YYYY with the queryId 373815 as well as my name in the subject.

Based on your inputs I would guide you further. The lump could be due to a number of causes. I need your inputs to identify the cause.

I will await your response.
