Where exactly is the lump/lumps (use specific anatomical description), how large are these lumps, what color are they...if not multiple colors, are they mobile or not, do they have a distinct boarder, are they painful, how long ago did they first appear, what size were they when they first appeared, do you have anything else going on with your body right now, even if you may not think it is related????????? A lump can be 100 things. A doctor can tell you, if he does an exam. This is my first exam. If you give it 'the ol' college try', so will I. ANSWER Obviously, you've seen a physician, or you wouldn't have mentioned "more nodules were seen on a scan"... I have to say... this is not the forum for getting a correct diagnosis of whatever it is that you have!!! It all depends on where on/in your neck you have the nodules, and just what type of scan we're discussing. Thyroid scan? MRI/CT Scan?? I'd strongly suggest you get back with the Doctor Who has been evaluating you and discuss this more with him!! If you've been given a diagnosis that has alarmed you, then take the "scans" and get a second opinion... Nothing wrong with that, and if the 1st doctor gets upset with you because you want to seek a second opinion, then perhaps he isn't the best doctor to treat you...!!

Is it common for developing girls to find small lumps in their breasts?
It's not uncommon, but almost all lumps found in the breasts of teenagers are harmless. The lumps could be blocked milk ducts, which will resolve themselves in a few months. They could also be solid masses of tissue, which may or may not go away. They could also (doubtfully) be calcium deposits. If you are concerned, go see your doctor about them.

What could cause two lumps on either side of your skull?
They could have been there from birth and grown larger into adulthood and you never really paid attention to them. I have done a lot of research on this and found nothing on this sort of thing. Think about what you have been doing. If the lumps seem to be on the same spot on each side of your skull then perhaps you are wearing a bike helmet or if you are male, helmets in sports and it's irritating your skull causing the lump. It could also be bony spurs, but this is unlikely. Any lumps should be checked out by your doctor.

Call the baby's pediatrician immediately. Perhaps they are nothing, but don't you want to be sure? When you call, tell the doctor if the lumps feel like they move around when you touch them, or if they feel like they stay in one place as your finger goes over them.

Is getting lumps on your body healthy?
That depends. Some lumps on the body can be signs of bad things going on inside the body; for example, some cancers manifest themselves as lumps on the skin.
