Are Lumps In Underarms And Back Of The Head Need Medical Attention?

I have a lump at the back of my head on the right side which I discovered on 2nd June this year. Also the right side of my right leg aches randomly and always feels heavier than my left. The neckline around the bump feels heavy too. And I feel I am getting fatigued easier than how I used to get before. Please tell me what could it be? Also I have a slight lump in my underarm since last December.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of multiple painless lumps, I would like to know your medical/surgical history, chest x-ray, hemogram reports and would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     lymph nodes due to some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!
2.     The second possibility is of recent lumps especially in aged ones are things to worry about and possibilities could be tuberculosis, sarcoidosis or just systemic viral infection l
3.     The last possibility is of some lipoma, neurofibroma, or infection in the innerside of your throat

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and USG of the region for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

all the best!
