I have this lump on my jaw line thats been there for 3 months, its completely painless and slightly moveable. My mum says its a raised gland, but shouldn't it have gone by now. Its just below my teeth but not under my jaw. i cant feel it on the inside just when i rub the outside of my jaw. Should i be worried?

Although it's probably nothing serious, a new lump that has lasted for three months is something you should take to a doctor to make sure.

i got it checked out and the doctor confirmed it was a gland and i had nothing to worry about, the reason it had been around so long was probably a reaction to me getting a lot of piercings in such a short time (labret, 2 sets of ear rings and stretching my earlobes) So take notes peeps.

i've had something similar to that for almost 9 years now. i first discovered it when i was about 9 yrs old. it's like a small lump that can move slightly from side to side. most of the time it wouldn't bother me, but once in a blue moon it cause some discomfort. i've seen quite a few doctors and all of them told me not to worry about it, but i still dont really understand what it is. can you tell me what kind of tests your doctor ran, and how he came to the conclusion that it's harmless? thank you

Is it a cist?
