However, today I noticed the bump that was only a pea sized lump, literally grew overnight 10x!!! And now it’s painful. I don’t know if it’s a boil or what but a boil doesn’t make sense because I’ve had the pea sized lump for 4 months! It just grew overnight! No pimple head on it, nothing. I called today and made an appointment for the Tuesday the 18th! I’m worried.

Update!

I went into the doctors office, my doctor wasn’t in but I did get to see a nurse. She felt it and said she’s going to send the Dr a message and see what we can do.

If it’s growing it’s not a good sign. They need to biopsy this asap!

Definitely call your doctors office and request an emergency appointment. With such a dramatic overnight size increase you need to get that lump checked out asap and they should be able to squeeze you in for an appointment this week. Sometimes it helps to freak out a bit on the phone. Tell them you're scared and it hurts and even get choked up and shed a few tears if need be. A lot of the time some drama on the phone will get you that appointment sooner rather than later. If not then I would go to the emergency room. Good luck!

Please call your doctor. Someone is on call and should get back to you pretty quickly. For your peace of mind if nothing else. It could be nothing much but it hurts and you don't need that. Please stay in touch with us so we know how you're doing. Hugs!
