It's not on my chin, like on the bone, but it's directly past my chin where it gets soft but before you get to my neck. It's a smallish bump that I can only feel if I push to feel it but it hurts like a bruise or something. I don't have insurance and can't afford a private dr. visit. What the hell do you think it could be? I had it once before a year ago or so and it just went away on it's own. I'm scared!

It's on my chin and NOT my neck and has no color, by the way.

Hi, my guess would be that it's a swollen lymph node, possibly trying to fight infection somewhere in your body. I would watch it for a week or so and see if it goes down. If not, you may be forced to have it checked out. You could probably find a clinic or something that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Look online in your area...Good Luck.

It may a deep acne precursor of some sort. I used to get something similar sometimes. 50% of the time it developed into a pimple, the other 50% it dissapated if I put benzoyl peroxide on the area and take care of it. I can't tell you that's what it is for sure as I'm not a dermatologist and I can't see you and diagnose you, but I can tell you what I have experienced. If it worsens, try to find a free clinic and go in and visit.

I'm in a similar situation financially, but fortunately for me, my local Rite-Aid has a Take Care Health Center where you can go see a Nurse Practicioner, for a lot less than a Dr. visit. You could check and see if you have something similar in your area to get yourself checked out.

It's probably a goiter. It's a big problem and it could get so big it's like a tennis ball. It also means you need more Salt in your diet.
