rubbery swelling/node in my back by shoulder blade, lympth node?

[Maximus96]

size of a quarter, rubbery felling swelling thats been there for many years, finally decided to do something about it, but forgot what its called. not sure if its a lympth node, as i though the lympth node is the more harmful one. doctor years ago told me to just leave it alone but i want to get rid of it. any help on what its called? thanks

Second head? Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll speak a foreign language, like French. Or Italian. You know - for the ladies. 😉

I'm not aware of any lymph nodes back there. Already saw a doctor and he said it wasn't dangerous? Well, you could get a second opinion.

could be a benign cyst, dermotologist can tell you for sure. I had one like you're describing removed earlier this year, it took 10 minutes.

i don't think its a lymph node, i remember somebody posting a question about it long time ago and found out its a different kind of node. doctor told me its a fatty deposite. i just finally decided i want to get rid of it and not sure on what its called...

You probably won't even need it. Just cut it off 😉

It might be a sebaceous cyst.

You know, it could be one of those partially formed parasitic identical twins. That would be cool.

If it's rubbery & on the back of your shoulder & it's old, it's prob a lipoma.
