Suggest Medication For Round Lump Below Right Shoulder Causing Pain
Recently, I discovered a round lump below the right shoulder around the scapula area. It seems to be getting bigger. It's not very painful, but if pressed I feel some pain. However, I feel some constant pain around the right shoulder area. My index and right thumb feel numb. From time to time, I feel a tingling from shoulder traveling all the way to the elbrow and then to the right index and thumb.
What is this illness? Is it serious? I've scheduled an MRI next week and I'll see a tumor surgeon following that.
I'm 54 years old.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,Welcome.Based on the facts of your query-
You seem to have lump growing Sebaceous Cyst/ with infection lately / or Dercum's Lipoma,which is why its growing and getting little painful.All these pains / tingling is due to the painful round lump below right shoulder.
Treatment-
Opinion from a surgeon /USG to differentiate with Lipoma.
Surgical Excision of the Seb-cyst or of the Lipoma, would resolve your problem soon.
Hope this would help you to plan further treatment with your doctor.
