Thyroid Nodule
Had noticed a lump in my thyroid a year back and had went to a general surgeon to get it checked. Dr did an ultrasound and FNAC. FNAC mentioned a Bethestha Ranking 3 FLUS. Since, the ultrasound features seemed normal, Dr mentioned that this is mostly Benign and asked me to repeat ultrasound after a year.
For the past few days am feeling a slight pain in the nodules while swallowing or yawning and also visibly the lump looks more prominent now compared to last year. My thyroid levels were normal the last time I checked. Should I be concerned of this pain? What are the causes for this pain?
My CRP is elevated (17) cause I get arthritis kinda flare up and Haemoglobin is 9.5. Also, have been having recurring armpit lumps (one is leaking pus for 6 months straight) and Dermatologist suggested that it is Hidradentis Suppurativa, none of the meds worked.
Attached my ultrasound and FNAC reports from last year.

For your thyroid nodule, I would suggest that you repeat a scan, as it's been over a year, and then visit a general surgeon.
For Hidradinitis Suppurativa, the treatment with medicines have a high recurrence.
Next Steps
Visit a general surgeon for both.
