Pain Under The Mole On The Neck Few Weeks Back, Now Have A Lump On The Spot, Rashes On Palms That Harden And Flake. What Could It Be?
I noticed a few weeks back a pain that was right under a mole that i have on my neck right below my jaw line.Thought maybe it was a pimple so just blew it off,well tonight i noticed a lump there now which is about the size of a grape.I have also started having a strange rash on the palms of my hands that look like little blisters and then harden and flake up and come off(very strange) never had that and that has been happening for over a month now.I dont have any type of health insurance and pretty much live pay check to pay check so any info would be helpful.thank you

Hi Patty
Thanks for writing to us.
The lump below the jaw is likely to be an enlarged lymph node and the rash that you have in your palms is suggestive of a viral exanthem. What I suggest is that you wait and watch for a week. If you have any fever or body ache, take Tablet Tylenol 1 tablet as and when required ( upto 4 tablets daily).
Also, try and see if this rash worsens with anything. Its possible that you're allergic to some soap or detergent that you are using. If that is the case, take Tablet Fexofenadine 180 mg one tablet once daily.
Please see a physician if the symptoms (particularly the lump) persists for >2 weeks
Hope that helps
regards
