Suggest Treatment For A Hard Lump Above The Collar Bone

Hi Doctor,

I am a 52 yr old woman in good health. 5'4" and about 120 lb. Just yesterday found a lump that is about a half inch in diameter. It is maybe an inch above the collar bone on the left side. It is a hard lump, but does move around sort of like a fatty tumor does.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It can be a lipoma ( fat containing ) or ganglion ( fluid congaing sheet origin) bone (from underlying bone)
2.If its not causing any discomfort - you don't have to much worry about it.
3.But if you want to get rid of it - then get an ultrasound scan done, which will help in evaluation of content and identify where it is arising from.
4.Or just let your doctor examine when ever you visit for any reason.
5.Hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
