Suggest Remedy For Swollen, Sore Lump On Shoulder

Hello. My mother is sixty-eight years old and has had a lump on her clavicle near her should for some eight years. Her doctor told her before that it was fine, but in the last week it has become swollen and sore, and she is wondering how this is so.



Thanking you.

hi.

it is best if you follow-up with her doctor and have your mother physically examined. it could be an inflammatory reaction, a benign lesion or something else. further diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
