Lump in throat
I found a small lump next to my epiglottis but i dont know if its anything serious. Its about 7mm in size and its the color of my skin. Since beginning of May I have had feeling of a lump in throat (but lower, where adams apple would be). I'm 19, female, not smoker, drink rarely. Im worried that its cancer.
