Our skin is like a canvas, revealing much about our health. A new lump or bump, especially in the neck or throat area, could be your body signaling that something’s amiss. This new development could be one of the physical signs of throat cancer.
These lumps or bumps could be swollen lymph nodes, which we’ve discussed earlier, or they could be a tumor growing in the throat. They might not cause any pain, but their presence alone is reason enough for concern.
The crucial aspect to note here is the persistence of these lumps. A temporary swelling could just be your body fighting off an infection. But if the lump persists for more than two weeks, it’s time to consult with a healthcare professional.(9)
