Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to vasculitis or local inflammation.
For this reason, it is important performing some tests in order to investigate for the possible causes:
- a bump ultrasound in order to examine this tissue
- inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR)
- biopsy may be needed.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
