Okay, here goes:
I have a few very small, pea-sized (If that) hard nodules down in my groin area...the crease of your leg. They have been there for at least two years, and have not grown any bigger, or smaller. They don't hurt either, but they are hard. Could they be fatty deposits?

And secondly:
I have noticed a small gland under my chin...it is about the size of a dime, and had been that way for a year...it doesn't hurt nor has it grown bigger. I am having the doctor check these in a week, but since they have been there for so long, can I assume that it's nothing to worry about?

Dear Chinadoll, the lump underneath your chin is most likely ia blocked salivery gland....I had the same thing, if you are worried you can get the doc to check your bloods and have a feel....Although we all have lumps and bumps most of them are supposed to be there...you may have had a small infection that started it all off, try not to freak out...I know how you feel though...Take care Good Luck Janie xoxoxox

Gee, Janie,I hope you reradthis. When your saliva duct was blaocked, did it hurt? That'sthe only thing that worrys me...is that my only symptom is a swollen gland (I wonder if it is even swollen) and it doesn't hurt, and allI can come upwith is bening tumors. Did you have any other symptoms?

When I first had a lump found in my chest I had all kinds of thoughts.You must not jump to conclusions take it from me.Go to the Doc it may be nothing.
