Suggest Treatment For A Small Bump On The Collar Bone

Hello, I have a small bump underneath my left collar bone. I noticed it about a week or so ago. It is painless, and not noticeable from the outside. It feels slightly firm/squishy. I am going to a doctor next week to get it looked at, what are the chances this is something serious like lymphoma cancer, etc?

Hi!! You seem to be really stressed out but don't worry as chances of it being lymphoma are very rare. Consider common causes of swellings first like epidermoid cyst, lipoma or some benign tumour.
