What Does A Small Painful Lump On Shoulder Indicate?
I had a small dime size bump on my left shoulder that has been there for years. Earlier this week I was out and got a sunburn. Over the course of the week, I've noticed the bump is painful to the touch and has quadrupled in size. I am a 30 year old male in good health
