I had a lump in my neck like the last one. I had for months i think, i don't recall cause it was a while. I never got it checked but it eventually went away... but then I got like acne and whiteheads looking bumps with pus.

Not long after I got one again, but on the left side of my neck. Same thing

And now i have again under my left jaw, but slightly upwards than before. I dont feel a big lump, its probably smaller this time, just small and painful when I touch.

Seeing this video though, I'm scared if it was actually something else

[Meshure]

[Anonymoussolider]
