Around 1 week ago, for some stupid reason, I was digging in my facial muscles. And all of a sudden, I felt a lump on the right side of my jawline/cheek. I absolutely do not know know if it is tender. It is painless.
Later that night, I felt on the left side as well, and voila, there is also another lump on the left side of my jawline/cheek! I believe that they are 95% symmetrical.
The right lump feels more prominent than the left. It is larger than a pea. Probably the size of a smaller grape.
Strange thing too is that the lump disappears when I open my mouth!
I've been digging around my jawline and to my shock, the overall area feels bumpy and lumpy. Strange thing though is when I normally touch my jawline and cheek areas, it feels okay. It is only when I press hard enough that I get to feel the lumps.
I do not have any other symptoms like fever, night sweats, etc.
I've had lymphoma scares before as I had lumps on my neck and behind my ears. I've been to two specialists about those previous lumps and they said there was nothing to worry about.
With my new discovery of lumps, I am feeling so anxious. I don't know if I should run to the doctor's office as my health insurance isn't yet in top shape.
I am only 22 years old. :(
