When to Consult a Doctor
Although many lumps are harmless, you should seek medical advice if a lump changes in size, shape, or color, becomes painful, or shows signs of infection. Medical evaluation is also important if the lump is accompanied by symptoms such as fever or unexplained weight loss. Early assessment and treatment can help prevent complications and lead to better outcomes.
