What Causes Swelling Above The Collarbone Area?
I have swelling above my right side collarbone area. Its not really a lump and I don t think it is a node. It is soft and just feels fatty, it moves when I change positions where at times it is very noticeable and then others not at all. What is this? Should I be concerned?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
In some cases, a collarbone lump may be caused by a cyst. Cysts are filled with fluid and are not cancerous.
A type of cyst called a ganglion cyst is common on the hand and wrist, but can also develop along the collarbone.
In this case, no need for treatment is required.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
